The Finnish Prisoner is an opera by Orlando Gough, first performed in 2007. Stephen Plaice wrote the English-language libretto based on the true story of Finnish prisoners of war incarcerated in England during the Crimean War. Stephen Plaice, at the time writer-in-residence at the modern Lewes Prison, came across the story and used it as the basis for the libretto of The Finnish Prisoner. It was composed by Orlando Gough, scored for a four-piece orchestra of violin, accordion, bass clarinet and vibraphone, and for three choruses, including a chorus of children. The opera received its world premiere in Lewes in July 2007, in a venue very near the site of the Naval Prison, in front of a sell-out audience including Finland's ambassador to London.
