Short, small-scale opera by composer Jonathan Dove and librettist Alasdair Middleton, commissioned and created specifically for families and children based on a traditional Finnish myth.

"Against his mother's wishes, Lemminkäinen travels to the icy north in search of a bride. There, impossible tasks await him: he must face the Devil's Elk, the Swan on Death's River - and in the shadows, an unseen danger lurks.

Based on a gripping tale from the Finnish folk epic the Kalevala, Swanhunter is a chamber opera specifically created for a family audience."
