Helsinki’s getting hot for Kalevi Aho’s new -three-hour opera “Frida y Diego” about the life of artists Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, to be premiered by students of the Sibelius Academy this Saturday. Wish we were there.

    Great! Just it is Diego Rivera no “Riveira”

    This sounds very interesting. Such a distinguished school of music.
