Team - a Chamber Opera about the Joys of Work
The chamber opera "Tiimi (Team)," written by Joonas Pohjonen and Päivi Rahmel, with music composed by Pohjonen
The chamber opera "Tiimi (Team)," written by Joonas Pohjonen and Päivi Rahmel, with music composed by Pohjonen, plunges headfirst into the depths of the workplace.
The plot of the opera takes the audience to a workplace, where a new strategy is about to be implemented. Struggling amidst twisted human and power relations, arrogance, and indifference, the archetypal characters both amuse and bring tears – just as is fitting for a proper opera.
As Department Head Karjula leads the team with a firm hand, emotions take over in various subordinates. The hectic morning intensifies during Consultant Huttula's training until Mrs. CEO arrives.
What happens to the central character, Liisa Ahkera, left in the gears of working life?
