Savoy Theatre has over the years become an inseparable and vibrant element adding to Helsinki’s rich cultural
scene. Savoy Theatre is particularly known as a leading concert venue for world music. We stage shows by more than 200 groups and performers from all over the world. The programme includes both Savoy Theatre’s own
productions, productions created in association with other event organisers and events produced by agencies,
festivals and private organisers. Savoy Theatre is located in the very heart of Helsinki, next to Esplanadi park and
the major shopping and commercial streets.
Our staff also manages the bookings and events on Espa Stage
outdoor venue. The historic Espa Stage is a summer stage located in Esplanade Park in the heart of Helsinki. The
free concerts on the summer stage attract both local residents and tourists. Young professional musicians and
veteran artists from Finland and abroad are seen in dozens of concerts on the stage. Summers have traditionally
been punctuated by Jazz Espa, which has been called the longest jazz festival in Finland and Etno-Espa, a folk music
festival. The Espa Stage also buzzes during Night of the Arts, Helsinki Day and during other major events. The
performances continue from May to August. Concerts are arranged mainly from Wednesdays to Fridays. Arrive in
good time to get the best seats. During the performances, you can enjoy refreshments on the terrace of
Restaurant Kappeli opposite. The Savoy Theatre and Espa Stage are part of the City of Helsinki Culture and Leisure
Division’s general cultural services.
