Koit Soasepp is an Estonian bass with an unorthodox background as an opera singer. After some 15 years in agribusiness he decided to change careers and started vocal studies with prof. Jaakko Ryhänen in 2009. Within a year he debuted both in Estonian and Finnish national operas. He is currently one of the busiest members of the Finnish National Opera ensemble, where his roles include Sarastro in The Magic Flute, The Grand Inquisitor in Don Carlos, Fasolt in Das Rheingold, Gremin in Eugene Onegin, Ramfis in Aida, Pimen in Boris Godunov, Il Commendatore in Don Giovanni, etc.
