More information: http://www.luonnotar.fi LUONNOTAR music Jean Sibelius script, direction, editing Marikki Hakola soprano Riikka Hakola dance, choreography Nina Hyvärinen conductor Leif Segerstam Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra sound design Epa Tamminen camera Raimo Uunila production Kroma Productions Ltd. 2010 Luonnotar is a music film based on the symphonic poem composed by Jean Sibelius for soprano and symphony orchestra. The music composition is an interpretation of the first song of Kalevala, a myth about the birth of the world. The film Luonnotar tells about 'the time before beginning'. The story conveys in a parallel manner two different creation stories: the Kalevalan mythology about the birth of the world is compared with naturalistic ideas about the birth of Earth and life. The virtual stage, realized through computer animation, paints a spectrum of fierce natural powers, a convulsing scene where the mythical figures of the story travel, telling the story sung for thousands of years to new generations. Sibelius modelled the Kalevala poetry to suit his modern music and for the soprano to sing. The documentary Sibelius and Luonnotar shows the background of the symphonic poem via expert and musician interviews and concert recording.
