	AINO ACKTÉ
		Finnish soprano Aino AcktÈ (1876-1944) (her real last name was "AchtÈ" which she changed to stop the French from making fun of it as "achetÈ" in French means "bought"), played an important part on the Finnish musical scene.
		Aino made her debut in Helsinki at the age of 17 after which she studied at the Paris Conservatory.
		After Marguerite in Faust, AcktÈ's next most important role was Salome, which, after the 1905 premiere, obsessed her to the extent that she visited Strauss to convince him that she was the only real Salome.

		Soon after the novel was published, internationally acclaimed Finnish opera singer Aino Ackté began to adapt it into a libretto, which she submitted to the author for approval.
		Ackté actively sought a composer for her project, and Jean Sibelius, for example, held on to the libretto for two years before finally declining the commission.
		Ackté later offered her libretto to Leevi Madetoja, whose opera "Pohjalaisia" had been hailed as a 'national opera' soon after its premiere in 1924.

	Spectator, The: Finnish fireworks
		Another stupendous bass, Marti Talvela, was artistic director of the festival in the 1970s, and it was founded by the soprano Aino Ackte in 1912, so it has always been strongly performer-led.
		What Aino Ackte and her successors have managed to do with resounding success is to encourage and promote the flourishing of Finnish music.
		Since 1967, when it was relaunched after a long hiatus, the selection has perhaps been more eclectic but, in addition to existing works, six new operas by Finnish composers have been given their world premieres at Savonlinna, and a number of them have gone on to be produced elsewhere and to attract a wider audience.

	The St. Petersburg Times - Arts + Features - The singing festival
		Initially called a “Singing Festival,” the Savonlinna Opera Festival was established by renowned Finnish soprano Aino Ackte, who first encountered the castle in 1907 when she attended a patriotic meeting there.
		The singer’s trained ear immediately recognized the tremendous potential of the romantic, excellently preserved castle — in both atmospheric and acoustic terms.
		Ackte’s original brainchild, however, didn’t survive World War I. In 1967, however, the festival was revived as the Savonlinna Music Days festival.

		The annual Finnish opera celebration, which has the courtyard of Olavinlinna Castle as its heart, will premiere two new opera productions to celebrate its 90th birthday: Richard Wagner's Tristan und Isolde and Aarre Merikanto's Juha, which was first staged at Savonlinna exactly 30 years ago.
		Back in the repertoire this year will be Verdi's Rigoletto and Gounod's Faust, whereas the Deutsche Oper am Rhein will present productions of Wagner's Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg and Richard Strauss's Der Rosenkavalier, neither of which has ever been seen on the Olavinlinna stage.
		The climax of the jubilee celebrations will be a gala in Olavinlinna Castle on July 21 featuring scenes from operas staged at the Festival over the decades and going right back to Melartin's Aino, performed in 1912.
