Minna Leinonen – Alma!

“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).
