The Finnish National Opera at Helsinki is now approaching the end of its first season as a National opera, having been reorganised with increased government support. Plans are also being made for building a new opera house close to the Olympic Stadium, but meanwhile performances are given four times a week, including ballet evenings, at the old Helsinki opera house built in 1879 as a model of the Maryinsky Theatre in Leningrad, and once used as a Russian garrison theatre.
