Timo Tuominen: Rendez-vous avec Brel — Suomen Kansallisteatteri, Helsinki
Description was written before the event

Timo Tuominen's popular Brel evenings continue at the National Theatre in autumn 2026. Each chanson is like a play - a meeting with friends and death, longing, love and joy, desolation, anguish and laughter. The programme also features socially engaged songs addressing contemporary issues such as violence against women and the rise of right-wing radicalism.

Tuominen has translated thirty new songs for the production, and his Brel repertoire has already grown to nearly a hundred. He is accompanied by an orchestra: Tomi Rikkola (guitar, bouzouki and viola), Jori Huhtala (double bass), Tuomas Timonen (drums) and Marko Roininen (piano and accordion).

National Theatre, Main Stage. 7.11.2026, 19.00-21.00, including intermission. Tickets 21-55 € from the National Theatre and Lippupiste.
