European historic theatres day
Take the chance to get to the heart of the theatre!
European Historic Theatres Day celebrates Europe’s historic theatre buildings and the rich cultural heritage they represent. This year, we're celebrating with two tours of the theatre's unique stage machinery.
In the 18th century, theatre flourished in Europe and many impressive theatres were built. Today, only a few remain, and the court theatre at Drottningholm is the most unique. Preserved in its original state, it is the only one from this period still in use. Drottningholm Theatre is a link between the past and the present, giving us an insight into the world of theatre in the 18th century.
