Drottningholms Slottsteater Opera Festival. The World's Most Genuine Early Opera Experience
 

Drottningholm 1766!
Welcome to a unique cultural heritage at the Royal domain of Drottningholm, Stockholm. Our aim is to perform new productions of 17th and 18th century opera in original settings.

Drottningholms Slottsteater is open for guided tours up until September

When the theatre at Drottningholm fills with life, when the stage is peopled by characters who through their body language and costumes complement movement and colour in the scenery, when tones vibrate and resonate in floors and walls and the ingenious machinery performs its magic – then we obtain a knowledge of the light and sound of the 18th century that no other theatre in the world can give us. For music lovers all over the world, the name of Drottningholms Slottsteaterresounds with the same magic as that of Stradivarius!

The Friends

Our object is to support Drottningholms Slottsteater -- one of the most fascinating gems of the 18th century >>>

Académie Desprez – our French Friends Association –

was founded in 1999 and consists of contributing to the range of influence of Drottningholms Slottsteater and its collections. Scholars, artists and patrons contribute to put into question, with their work, and to give life, with their practice, to the precious heritage that Drottningholms Slottsteater represents. >>>
