Evangelicum fascinates people of all style directions and age groups by an unconvenient combination of dark Metal und classic orchestra, supported by giant fireworks of dance, play und light show.

Producer and Waltari-manager Pekka Rahkonen: "It would be trivial to call this production a 'rock-ballet'. Evangelicum is mystical cross-cultural avantgarde where heavy metal combined to classical music meets modern dance. As Jorma put it; nothing like this has EVER happened in any Opera House in the world. Or anywhere. Kaertsy has composed progressive death/doom and extremely beautiful classical parts (he definitely is 'Mozart of our times'!)"

The "Helsingin Sanomat" nov. 17 1999: "The dominating element in Evangelicum is a rock-band located high above the stage and it´s leader, flaming readhead vocalist Kärtsy Hatakka. The show is based on the energy of Waltari´s music and 100% presence of Kaertsy Hatakka."

Composer Kaertsy Hatakka: "Evangelicum is the sum of whole past millennium and it´s dark sides. But finally love and light wins."
