Glamorous and intense, this Finnish powerhouse soprano is known to standing-room-only audiences for her thrilling, hard-edged top notes, "unabashed romantic longing" (New York Times) and gripping characterizations. She is the kind of artist that puts the grand in grand opera, as in San Francisco Opera's The Makropoulos Case last season, "a performance of chilling exactitude and fearlessness" (San Francisco Chronicle).

"The opportunity to hear one of the world's great artists doing the work she does better than anyone else-[is] the reason you go to concerts."-The New york Times
