Kadriorg Palace and Park mark 307 years since Russian Tsar Peter the Great and Italian architect Nicola Michetti picked the spot for this baroque beauty. It’s also 25 years since the Kadriorg Art Museum and its Flower Garden were given a glorious makeover. Expect a day of free family-friendly fun: outdoor games, fairy tale workshops, a musical show, and guided park tours. The highlight? A theatrical concert titled *Les élémens – from Baroque Dance to the Rubble of Life*, mixing elegance with edge. In honour of the first Estonian-language book (500 years young), guests are encouraged to dress as fairy tale characters and lose themselves in Kadriorg’s storybook setting.

AC/DC’s *Power Up Tour* rolls into Tallinn for the band’s first-ever show in Estonia, and it’s shaping up to be a full-throttle night of riff worship under the Song Festival Grounds’ famous arch. Expect Angus Young in full duck-walk glory, Brian Johnson belting like a runaway freight train, and a set stacked with the thunder you came for – *Back in Black*, *Highway to Hell*, *Thunderstruck*, *You Shook Me All Night Long* and the rest of rock’s loudest hymnbook. Warming the stage: The Pretty Reckless, bringing brooding, heavy, hooky modern rock to light the fuse. Then brace for the main blast – decades of stadium-tested, high-voltage showmanship that still unites grandparents, teens and everyone who’s ever air-guitared with a broom.

Head to Heldeke!, Tallinn’s beloved comedy den, for a night where stand-up collides with live music in all the right (and wrong) ways. Ann Vaida teams up with pianist Rene Paul for an evening of beautifully chaotic comedy, where punchlines get a soundtrack and timing is everything. Expect ten-minute sets from a sharp lineup including Aleksandr Popov, Ana Falcon, Olga Loitšenko and more, each adding their flavour to the night’s rhythmic rollercoaster. Rene’s live piano riffs weave through the acts – sometimes playful, sometimes unhinged – but always setting the stage for unexpected hilarity. *Tickets are €13 in presale or €15 at the door.* [https://estonianworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/IMG_3995.jpg](https://estonianworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/IMG_3995.jpg) ### **[Summer Opera 2025](https://www.plmf.ee/en/summer-opera-2025/)** ![Location-Emoji-Symbol](https://omgsymbol.com/download/location/02/original/logo.jpg) Tallinn Town Hall, Raekoja plats 1, Tallinn ![calendario. vector de icono de calendario. icono de calendario signo ...](https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.vecteezy.com%2Fsystem%2Fresources%2Fpreviews%2F007%2F683%2F531%2Fnon_2x%2Fcalendar-calendar-icon-calendar-icon-simple-sign-calendar-symbol-free-vector.jpg&f=1&nofb=1&ipt=8a303de132784c01077af7cde6b0dfcee73eb925ede4c723cbb6343db65ad675) From Friday, 25 July, to Saturday, 16 August Step into a world of soaring arias, candlelit elegance and velvet-lined drama at Summer Opera 2025, where every Friday and Saturday night the majestic Tallinn Town Hall transforms into a stage fit for Verdi, Puccini and Mozart. These 60-minute concert-performances blend the best of opera’s golden repertoire with the intimacy of chamber music – all performed in period costume by Estonia’s top vocal talent. Expect a rotating cast of stars including Maria Listra, Kristina Vähi, Karmen Puis and Rasmus Kull, under the artistic direction of Pille Lill and Alar Haak. Set in the historic Citizens’ Hall, the setting is just as much a star of the show as the voices. Whether you’re an opera aficionado or a curious first-timer, this is your chance to experience the drama, beauty and power of live opera in one of Tallinn’s most iconic spaces.
