Interview with Mari Vihmand, composer of "The Formula of Love"
|
"Were you satisfied with the performance last night?" I ask Mari Vihmand when we walk through drifts of autumn leaves on our way from The Estonian National Opera for a cup of tea and a chat in a café in Tallinn’s Old Town. It is the day after the world premiere of her opera Armastuse valem (The Formula of Love - see review).

On October 17, the repertoire of the Estonian National Opera will become richer by yet another original Estonian creation - there will be the world premiere of the opera "The Formula of Love" by Mari Vihmand.
