Reeta Tuoresmäki is responsible for set design and costumes. The soloists are Senja Syrjälä, Jere Hölttä, Laura Juvonen and Johannes Pessi. The Imatran Immet choir from Imatra is also involved, carrying the story forward through the moments of celebration as well as the rapids. As conductor Elisar Riddelin.
