Paris Opera names a room for Kaija Saariaho
OperaThere is a salon at the Bastille Opera that will be forever Finland.
Yesterday Opera chief Alexander Neef named the room for the late composer Kaija Saariaho in recognition, he said, of her ‘special relationship with Paris where she settled from 1982.‘
Her second opera, Adriana Mater, was commissioned for the Bastille.
Saariaho died in June last year, aged 70.
