After a long time, Katri Helena was seen in public on Thursday in Valkeakoski.
A singing legend who retired last year Katri Helena80, returned to the public when he arrived at the summer theater in Valkeakoski to watch the premiere of a musical about him. The musical is called Katri.
Katri Helena arrived at the event Tommi Liimatainen49, for a ride. The couple drove to the theater yard in a white Volvo. Liimatainen stayed in the car waiting for Katri, and did not come to be filmed with her.
Katri did not give interviews on the spot, but arrived to be filmed on the beach of the theater. The sky was gray and drops were dripping from the sky, but that didn’t make Katri’s smile freeze. Katri was all smiles in front of the photographers.
The singer was wearing a white sweater, light pants and a gray coat. The outfit was decorated, among other things, with earrings.
The premiere was held in rainy and windy weather. Katri Helena told on the spot what it feels like to see a performance that tells about itself.
– There are no tears, because I have been watching different shows about myself here for 15 years, the singer said with a little laugh.
– However, someone there always touches it every now and then, he added and pointed his finger at his throat.

– Maybe I’ll show up somewhere, you can’t even hide it in the closet, the star living in Askola said at the time.
