worldwide in 2008 and 2009, respectively. In 2010 at Opéra National de Lyon, Mattila created the role of Émilie du Châtelet in Kaija Saariaho's monodrama Émilie, which was dedicated to her. In 2014, Mattila was scheduled to sing Four Last Songs with the Munich Philharmonic at Carnegie Hall. However, when Valery Gergiev, who had publicly supported Vladimir Putin's stance on Ukraine and gay rights, was brought in to conduct, she refused to perform if he remained. Gergiev was replaced with Fabio Luisi. Mattila received threats for her action. In 2020, Mattila played a parody of herself as an opera diva stuck in Finland, in the new comic opera Covid fan tutte. In December 2020 Mattila was awarded the Order of the Lion of Finland, Commander, First Class. Personal life Mattila lives in Naples, Florida. In 1988 she met and, in 1992, married Tapio Kuneinen, who served as her manager; they divorced in February 2019. She has been active on Twitter since October 2018, and has stated that it was a "lifesaver" after her divorce. Upon the abrupt cancellation of her Jenůfa at the Royal Opera House in late February 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic, she moved to an apartment in Helsinki, Finland, until she was able to travel and work safely again and return home.
