Helsinki Airport plays opera and ballet while you wait

Helsinki Airport plays opera and ballet while you wait

Finavia and the Finnish National Opera and Ballet this week installed a loop of opera and ballet at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport to distract passengers while they wait for flights and luggage.

The loop, lasting 20 minutes, includes extracts of Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty, with arias from Tosca, Turandot and Don Giovanni.

Makes a change.
