Jorma Silvasti studied singing at the Savonlinna Music College, the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki and in Frankfurt am Main.
Since 1983, Jorma Silvasti has been visiting the Savonlinna Opera Festival and has sung the roles of Tamino (The Magic Flute), Jenik (The Bartered Bride) and the Steersman (The Flying Dutchman).
During the summer of 1996, he sang the role of Petruccio in the premiere of Aulis Sallinen's The Palace, and in 1997, he was in Savonlinna as "The Artist of the Year", singing the roles of Tamino and Walther (Tannhäuser).

 HS Culture 1.6.2001 - Raimo Sirkiä takes over at Savonlinna Opera Festival
There were, however, voices within the Board of Trustees who did not like Silvasti's lack of contact and the fact that he seemed to be preparing his term independently.
In the end, Jorma Silvasti withdrew from the competition in the spring, and the Board of Trustees backed Sirkiä's selection unanimously.
Raimo Sirkiä is 50, eight years older than Silvasti, and one of the criteria for choosing the older man is that Sirkiä has said he would like to cut down on his singing engagements and on living out of a suitcase, whilst Silvasti is in great voice and also in great demand on the stage.

Using off stage voices to portray the taunts of other children is another brilliant feature of this production : the child will carry the taunts in his mind, like Wozzeck did, whether or not they exist in objective reality.
Jorma Silvasti was an excellent Drum Major bristling with the macho confidence that a more questioning person might lack.
The role can be one dimensional, but Silvasti makes the most of tiny details, like patting the child fondly on the head.

Jorma Silvasti is a fine Laca, filled with both remorse and love, singing with a beautiful lyric tenor.
The highlights of this new set are many, not least Anja Silja's return to the role of the Kostelnicka, Karita Mattila's first appearance in the title-role in Britain, and the outstanding Laca of Jorma Silvasti.
His drunkenness in Act One is perhaps a little too vulgar and his voice does show strain in his forgiveness scene with Mattila (Disc 1, Track 7, 5:20) giving little indication of his previous achievements, both on disc (particular in Weill's Street Scene and The Rake's Progress) and in the theatre.

 'Die Walküre', appreciated by Robert Hugill   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
If I have any complaint about his conducting it is that, whilst never seeming hurried, at certain moments the performance lacked a little spaciousness; but this is his first Die Walküre and the production is bound to grow musically as well as dramatically as the Ring progresses.
Silvasti wisely did not push, so he always created an attractive sound; but at the big moments I would have liked a more gleaming tone.
Milling's voice matches his stature, so he never had to over-emphasise and his focus and projection showed up Dalayman and Silvasti a little; Milling's diction was also completely admirable.

 Savonlinna Opera Festival - Jorma Silvasti, tenor
Jorma Silvasti is a member of the solo ensemble of the Finnish National Opera, the Krefeld-Mönchengladbach Opera and the Baden State Opera in Karlsruhe.
Famous for his dark, dramatic roles, he was the first Finnish tenor since Jorma Hynninen in the 1980s to make his debut at the New York Metropolitan in December 2004.
The unique timbre of his voice and his unusually broad repertoire have made him a tenor of the finest calibre.

Karita Mattila, Anja Silja, Jorma Silvasti, Jerry Hadley, Eva Randova,
And then there is the almost unbearable intensity of Jorma Silvasti’s Laca, whose passion for Jenufa I have never heard conveyed more forcefully or meaningfully.
As Laca, Silvasti sings with passionate wildness and a richly sensual tone that is second to none.

 R. Wagner, Parsifal, Finnish National Opera, 4th April 2005 (BK)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Fine singing from all of the principals - it's hard to believe that Päivi Nisula was once a mezzo or that Jorma Silvasti was so criticised in London for his Siegmund - was matched by first-rate sets and lighting.
Special mention should go though to Jorma Silvasti's Parsifal (every inch the innocent made wise by compassion) and to Esa Ruuttenen's menacing Klingsor.
In his case I have often wondered whether his vocation as an ordained Christian minister helps make him such a wonderful operatic villain; if so it's a very great asset.

I was surely not the only one at the Royal Opera House who felt a kind of aesthetic panic when, toward the end of the evening, the tenor Jorma Silvasti came onstage as Rudolf Höss, the commandant of Auschwitz, singing about crematorium construction.
Dale Duesing did a remarkable turn as the ever-lurking Narrator; he sang eloquently and made his face a mirror of the action.
Gordon Gietz was robust as young Stingo; Silvasti and Alan Opie courageously tackled the unrewarding roles of Commandant Höss and the Doctor.
