HELGI SALLO (born in 1941), one of the most beloved artists in Estonia, has performed for nearly 50 years with equal success in operas, operettas, musicals, drama plays and TV serials. She has not got any special musical education, but her talent was discovered by the conductor Eri Klas who invited her to sing Maria in "West Side Story" in 1964. Since then she has been the soloist of the Estonian National Opera. Her roles include Pipi the Long-Stocking, Aldonza in "Man of la Mancha", Zerlina in "Don Giovanni", Musetta in "La Bohème", Madeleine in "Bal im Savoy", Sally and Frl Schneider in "Cabaret", Countess Zedlau in "Wiener Blut", Hanna Glawari in "Die lustige Witwe", Dolly in "Hello Dolly" and many others.
This duet of Tevje and Golde "Do You Love Me?" from the musical by Jerry Bock "The Fiddler on the Roof" is recorded at the Estonian National Opera in 1990. Helgi Sallo's partner is an actor from the Estonian Drama Theatre who created also unforgettable roles in musicals - Jüri Krjukov (1954-1997).

HELGI SALLO on 21. sajandil enam tuntud seriaalikangelanna ja draamanäitlejana, kuid Eesti teatri ajalukku jääb ta siiski oma haruldase mitmekesisuse ja unustamatute rollidega muusikalaval. Selles videos on jäädvustatud Golde ja Tevje duett Jerry Bocki muusikalist "Viiuldaja katusel". Helgi Sallo duetipartner on Jüri Krjukov.
