An Evening with Brünnhilde

An Evening with Brünnhilde: Nordic Dreams and Wagnerian Drama – concert in London

Fundraising Concert for the Drottningholm Court Theatre

This unique London concert celebrates the magic of the Drottningholm Court Theatre

The Drottningholm Court Theatre, a world-renowned 18th-century opera house and UNESCO World Heritage Site, is located within the Drottningholm Royal Palace just outside Stockholm. Preserved in its entirety — from its original stage machinery to its painted sets and auditorium — it offers a rare opportunity to experience opera as it was in the time of Mozart and Rameau. Due to its historic significance and delicate condition, the theatre’s season is necessarily brief, typically presenting only one production per year with eight performances, yet the music, singing, staging, and costumes are consistently exceptional.

Elisabet Strid, an internationally acclaimed Swedish soprano, has established herself as one of the foremost interpreters of the dramatic operatic repertoire of her generation. With her powerful voice, impeccable technique, and commanding stage presence, she has made a lasting impression on some of the world’s most prestigious opera stages. Her artistry brings the historic magic of Drottningholm vividly to life, creating an unforgettable experience for audiences.

It is precisely this rare combination of artistic excellence and the theatre’s intimate, historic setting that inspires efforts to bring Drottningholm’s magic to audiences beyond Sweden. Discussions are underway for a future collaboration in London, allowing UK audiences to experience this extraordinary heritage in a new context.

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Elisabet Strid, whose dedication and artistry support our theatre and ensure that its magic continues to inspire audiences from around the globe.
