Myrskyluodon Maija på Vaasan kaupunginteatteri
V
AASAN KAUPUNGINTEATTERIS höstsäsong inleds med den älskade musikalen Myrskyluodon Maija (Stormskärs Maja). Musikalen som har premiär 8.9 baserar sig på Anni Blomqvists romaner, och det nu aktuella arrangemanget är gjort av Jakob Höglund. Handlingen skildrar livet för det unga älskande paret Maja och Janne vid mitten av 1800-talet i Ålands skärgård. Naturen, och människans strävan att leva i samklang med den, är starkt närvarande i det här dramat med smak av livet. Föreställningarna har svensk text. Under höstsäsongen roas publiken förutom av pjäserna Mun Pohjanmaa och Sumu också av farsen Älä pukeudu päivälliselle, vilken handlar om de olika turerna i mänskliga relationer, älskade och hemligt älskade. Mauri Kunnas’ älskade sagofigurer intar scenen på stadsteatern i höstens nya barnpjäs Hyvää yötä, Herra Hakkarainen. I operan Carmen som har premiär i januari medverkar också Vasa stadsorkester samt Vasa operakör.
