The world premiere will be held in the form of a five-day summer camp from June 26th-30th. The starring roles will be played by the gamers participating in the camp.

Opera experience for the next generation

Children of all ages are welcome to join as long as they are able to play Minecraft. They will be placed in age groups of 12 participants. The languages used will be Finnish and English. Experienced game educators and adventure architects from the School of Gaming will guide the gamers through the magical story of The Magic Flute. Along the way, they will also get a peek behind the scenes of the Savonlinna Opera Festival and learn about the history of this wonderful art form in a fun and motivating way.

The aim is to awaken interest in different, previously unknown things while learning crucial future skills such as teamwork and positive communication through Minecraft and gaming. Gamers learn stuff about music, opera, composers, but also problem-solving, friendship, emotions and history.
