The Estonian National Opera is showing the premiere of German director Axel Ranisch’s<\/strong> film “Orphea in Love<\/i>” today. The Estonian soprano Mirjam Mesak<\/strong> shines in the main role of the film, and after the screening Neeme Raud<\/strong> will interview Mirjam Mesak and the director Axel Ranisch on the stage of the Estonian National Opera.<\/p>\n

The musical film \u201cOrphea in Love<\/i>\u201c is the story of a young singer who works in a call center and falls in love with a thief, who is later killed in a car accident. Orphea is offered the opportunity to retrieve her loved one from the afterlife.<\/p>\n

According to Mirjam Mesak, she is very happy that a film close to her heart will finally reach Estonian viewers. “The project started already in 2020, when I received a call from director Axel Ranisch. In the midst of a raging pandemic, we started working on the script, and to my great delight, Axel wanted my character to be an Estonian girl. This movie has a little bit of me, a little bit of Estonia, a little bit of opera, and definitely a lot of love!\u201d Mesak describes.<\/p>\n

The film is a tribute to opera and love, while telling its own story, combining realistic and kitschy narration. In a sense, the piece is as close to Flashdance as it is to Gluck or Puccini.<\/p>\n

You can buy tickets for the premiere on the National Opera’s website<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n
