Drottningholms Slottsteater opens season with free programme
On 6 June, Drottningholms Slottsteater will be launching its new season with a free day-long programme that includes a dramatised tour with music and song, a short performance by Johan Rabaeus and Andreas T Olsson, and music from members of the Drottningholm Theatre Orchestra. Spread out your picnic blanket in the park and enjoy a day in the beauty of this World Heritage site.
The whole family is welcome to Drottningholm. There will be activity tables and face-painting for the youngest as well as pony and cart rides through the park. The theatre itself will be opening its doors with the dramatised tour The living theatre, brought to life by singers, musicians and actors in masks and costumes. A guide will show visitors round the historical theatre building, where theatre companies both worked and stayed in the 1700s.
Drottningholms Slottsteater is a unique, World Heritage-listed historical theatre. In the Déjeuner Salon, which was once King Gustav III’s breakfast hall, will be a teaser for The Deafness, a musical drama arranged in association with the Royal Dramatic Theatre. Johan Rabaeus as Beethoven and Andreas T Olsson as his nephew will be joined on stage by a string quartet led by Maria Lindal. Those who wish to hear more music need only remain in the salon, where there will be a short concert of baroque music afterwards.
This marks the official opening of a season that includes two major premieres:
On 3 August we present the premiere of Handel’s opera Ariodante, with international star Ann Hallenberg singing the lead role.
On 5 Septemberwe present the premiere of The Deafness, a play starring Johan Rabaeus and Anderas T Olsson, amongst others. In association with the Royal Dramatic Theatre.
There will also be daily guided and thematic tours.
