Perttu Kivilaakso and Eicca Toppinen are members of the Apocalyptica heavy metal music ensemble. Their opera Indigo includes some heavy elements but is essentially a traditional opera.It is a story of greed and love larger than life. It is about faith in technology and the downfall of a scientific community.It shows the commitments and choices that people make when they are driven by events rather than their own free will. The World premiere was in January 2016.
