On July 12. my longtime friend and godfather of my younger son Tomas, Mr.Peter Gloystein arrived from Duesseldorf , Germany to Helsinki. He had been a year earlier my
host at Bayreuth Wagner festival, so it was my turn to invite him to Savonlinna. This small east Finnish town hosts nowadays annually a famous opera festival since 1912 for two weeks time in a beautiful medieval fortress. We enjoyed the operas "Tosca" of Puccini and "Don Giovanni" of Mozart, which performances we both liked very much.
During the day between operas we sailed on fantastic lake Saimaa with a more than 100 years old steamer having a most wonderful Finnish Summer weather and some nice drinks.
