“Art is not an escape from reality. It’s for understanding the world more profoundly. And for me, opera is one of the best artforms for it, whether as a listener or a composer.”
Minna Leinonen is nominated by Finland for the 2022 Nordic Council Music Prize for the opera Alma! (2019-2020).
Meet this year’s nominees in conversation with podcast host Andrew Mellor and hear excerpts from the nominated works. Listen to all the episodes in the series on your preferred podcast app.
