The season starts at Drottningholm
On May 25th the new season starts at Drottningholm Slottsteater! Then follows a packed summer that lasts until september 14. It all starts with Cimarosas most famous comic opera and then becomes more and more Mozart. Sopranos and mezzos like Anne Sofi von Otter and Elin Rombo, Susanne Rydén, Anna Järvinen and acclaimed Julia Lezhneva - with Sweden debut - are making entrances and exits on the historic stage. The season's main production is Mozart's La Clemenza di Tito directed by Sigrid T'hooft.
