Finland's opera-singing policeman spreads message of love under lockdown
HELSINKI - A police officer in northern Finland has hit on a novel way to help the public weather the coronavirus lockdown, using his singing talent to lift spirits and going viral in the process.
"I wanted to sing something that I really feel helps my own heart," the classically trained tenor told AFP, adding that he wanted to offer "some kind of comfort" to people who are incapacitated and alone during the coronavirus crisis.Within 24 hours of posting the video last Friday, Schroderus was "flabbergasted" to receive a thousand messages of appreciation, from around Europe, Russia, Australia and the US, "even if they don’t understand the lyrics.
Since late March, schools in Finland have been closed to older children and gatherings of more than 10 people banned as authorities try to stem the spread of the new coronavirus, which has led to 94 deaths in the country so far. The long-serving officer took a break from policing 22 years ago to study under one of the country’s most renowned opera teachers, Esko Jurvelin, before singing for the Finnish National Opera for seven years.
