| Samuli Taskinen |
Finnish bass-barihunk Samuli Taskinen is appearing as Lord Krishna in the Komische Oper's run of Philip Glass'
Satyagraha. He is new to our site, other than a brief mention when he was a finalist in the Lappeenranta National Singing Competition.
Samuli began his music studies at the piano at age five and eventually switching to the cello. In 2011, he was accepted into Sibelius Academy's Music education department, where his intention was to become a pop and jazz voice teacher. While at the Academy, he took some voice lessons and was hooked on singing.

Performances of
Satyagraha run through November 10th and tickets are available
online.
Samuli will remain at the Komische, where he will sing two roles in Debussy's
Pelléas et Mélisande, an armored man in Mozart's
Die Zauberflöte and Paolo Calvi in Schreker's
Die Gezeichneten.
