Georg Ots was regularly invited to the most important Soviet opera theatres, he also performed at the Bolshoi Theatre of Moscow for several times.
One of his top achievements was the film Mister X based on Imre Kalmán’s opera The Circus Princess that was produced by Lenfilm studios. Ots performed on the stage of the Estonian National Opera from 1951–1975, the year he deceased. His debut as a stage director with the opera Don Giovanni was left half finished.

Frederick Loewe’s musical
Libretto by Alan Jay Lerner after Bernard Shaw’s play Pygmalion
The Stage Director of the original production is Moss Hart
Premiere: 3 April 2008
Conductors: Jüri Alperten, Mihhail Gerts
Stage Director: Ago-Endrik Kerge
Set Design: Liina Keevallik
Costumes: Liina Pihlak
Choreography: Eduard Korotin
Sung in Estonian, no subtitles!!!
Musical in two acts with one intermission
Approximate running time: 3 h 15 min
One of the most popular musicals of all times may almost have not been written at all. In the 1930s the leaders of the American musical industry tried persistently to convince Loewe and Lerner that the source material is incapable of following the rules for the construction of a musical. The project was abandoned for twenty years until the musical theatre changed. In 1956 Lerner and Loewe reunited and their cooperation resulted in the most popular performance of the U.S. musical history that has been repeatedly staged world-wide. The musical has also received a popular film production in 1964 with Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison in the title roles. At the premiere Eliza was sung by Julie Andrews, Professor Higgins was sung by Rex Harrison, Eliza’s father was sung by Stanley Holloway and Colonel Pickering by Robert Coote.
On the 3rd of April in 2008, Frederick Loewe’s musical My Fair Lady, based on the humorous and witty play Pygmalion by Bernard Shaw, will premiere again at the Estonian National Opera. My Fair Lady was previously staged at the Estonian National Opera in 1963, staged by Voldemar Panso.
Henry Higgins, a Doctor in Phonetics and a bachelor bets his friend Colonel Pickering that he can make a cockney flower girl speak like a Duchess. A witty chain of events follows, where an amazing result is reached through tears and laughter.

Romantic ballet by August Bournonville
Premiere on January 25, 2007
Music by Herman Severin Løvenskiold
Staged by Eva Kloborg, Frank Andersen, Anne Marie Vessel Schlüter (Denmark)
Conductors: Jüri Alperten, Mikk Murdvee
Designer: Mikael Melbye (Denmark)
Approximate running time: 1 h 40 min
"La Sylphide" is a beautiful romantic ballet which takes us to the world of our dreams where the ideal is tried to be achieved, true love is desired and the dream – sylph – is followed.
"La Sylphide" created by the famous Danish choreographer August Bournonville in the 19th century, was one of the first romantic ballets which raised the ballerinas on their toes and dressed them into white delicate skirts in order to picture the poetic world of sylphs.
The glorious journey of "La Sylphide" on the ballet stages of the world began in 1836. The ballet was performed in the Estonian National Opera in 1982. Now, the ballet is brought on stage by Frank Andersen, the artistic director of the Royal Danish Ballet, who is considered to be the best Bournonville specialist in the world. Mikael Melbye, the designer of "La Sylphide", is also a well-known stage director and an opera singer who has performed on several stages.

Peter the Great´s Cottage /
Mäekalda 2 Map
|
|
The summer residence, now known as Peter's House, was a one-storeyed oblong building with a hipped roof. It contained four rooms, a kitchen, a hall and a lavatory. Behind the building, on the town side, was a small garden. By 1714 the building had been redecorated and furnished waiting for the tsar's next visit.
At the order of Emperor Alexander I, his ancestor's summer residence was renovated in 1804-06. It was not restored in the shape it had been at Peter's times, only the 17th-century stone part was preserved. The oven in the hall was demolished and a staircase leading to the first floor was built at its place. The former kitchen was divided into two parts and the bigger part became an extension of the hall. A low room, nowadays called the dining room, was built above the kitchen. The building got a roof of boards; the tiled roof dates from the late 19th century only. In 1806 some pieces of furniture that had been in the palace were brought back to the cottage.
Today the building is the only example of a 17th-century summer cotatge in Estonian architecture.

The Silver Chamber displays silver treasures of guilds, craft corporations and Brotherhood of the Black Heads. The oldest objects in the Silver Chamber originate from the 15th century, the youngest from the first decades of the 20th century, i.e. from the last years in the history of guilds in Tallinn. There is no other town in Europe in which such an extensive amount of guild silver has been preserved than in Tallinn. The majority of the objects were made by goldsmiths in Estonian towns; however, the associations also commissioned vessels from Germany, Sweden, and Russia.

The traditional structures built by the country folk were mostly made from pine or fir felled at the winter's peak, sometimes from stone. Even in the beginning of the 20th century, in the corners of some yards a conical tent still remained made from poles: a summer kitchen - such dwellings date back to the Stone Age when they had been used by hunters and fishers. Yet most of the yard buildings were/are built from cross-joined horizontal beams. This is how Estonians built for at least 1000 years - until the beginning of the 20th century.

The ground floor houses the permanent exhibition of Estonia's geology and the hall of temporary exhibitions, the first floor houses the exhibitions of the Baltic Sea and its coasts, inland waters and mires of Estonia and a very compressed exhibition of world fauna, while the "dry and mesic communities" of Estonia - forests and meadows - are displayed on the second floor. Additional information on the Baltic Sea and its coasts can be retrieved from a computer located in the first floor exhibition hall.
The wildlife exhibitions are arranged according to the ecological principle, i.e. one display case presents both the soil and vegetation and various animals of the habitat concerned. This way of presentation offers the best general picture in conditions of limited space. Only the display of Estonia's insects in the exhibition hall of meadows on the second floor is arranged according to the biological classification system.

The museum on the ground floor of a neo-baroque building erected for the castellan of Kadriorg in the mid-19th century shows the last apartment of one of the best-known Estonian writers of the early 20th century – Eduard Vilde (1865-1933). The writer lived in a light six-room flat together with his wife and mother-in-law in 1927-1933. The furniture made at the Tallinn Luther factory, the original interior doors and tiled stoves have survived. The balusters of the wooden staircase that date from the turn of the 19th and 20th century are also original.
E. Vilde Museum has been on the premises since 1946. The present-day display provides a survey of the writer's life and work and gives a very good idea of the urban mode of life in the 1920s. The halls on the first floor are used for art, literary and cultural history exhibitions.

The painter Harro Koskinen (b. 1945 in Turku) has become famous for his socio-critical world of paintings, inspired by Pop Art, particularly for his pink and yellow pigs living their lives in pig reality. Harro’s breakthrough occurred in 1969, when he had to start fighting for artistic freedom of expression at quite a young age. The controversy of his almost four-meter-long painting, titled The Messiah of Pigs, completed in 1969, made it into the newpapers, as it was considered to be a mockery of God. After that he was prosecuted for profanation of the national coat of arms (Coat of Arms of Pigs, 1969). The court found him guilty of a mockery of God. Over time, criticism of Harro’s works has mellowed and his pig has become a character much loved by the public.
