Summary |
"Suomalaisen teatterin historia II" by Eliel Aspelin-Haapkylä is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work chronicles the early years of Finnish theatre and the establishment of a national opera from 1872 to 1879. Focusing on the challenges and triumphs faced by the new theatre group, it delves into the contributions of various key figures, particularly Kaarlo Bergbom and his sister Emilie, as well as the enthusiastic reception of their performances. At the start of the book, the foundation of the Finnish theatre is established, illustrating the initial skepticism it faced from detractors and the passionate support from its advocates. The narrative describes how a small troupe, led by Bergbom, quickly moved into rehearsals shortly after the theatre's formation. It introduces the members of the troupe, showcasing their diverse backgrounds and previous experiences in the performing arts, while highlighting the eagerness of both the actors and the audience for a culturally significant Finnish theatre. The opening sets a tone of determination and national pride as the ensemble prepares for their first performances, marking a turning point in Finland's theatrical landscape.
