Sun 16 February 2020 at 14 Must everything be perfect?

What causes us to seek perfection? Would it not be more interesting to hear about human blunders and occurrences that did not go quite as planned? This relaxed, lively and surprising concert by Fanny Hellström and Vilma Keisala consists of the singers’ favourite songs from opera arias to show tunes. The pianist is Jussi Littunen.
