A very special meeting with a very special theatre. Drottningholm Court Theatre was built in 1766 at the request of Queen Lovisa Ulrika. The first golden age of the theatre was initiated by King Gustaf III in 1777. 

The wooden stage machinery is operated by hand. It includes wind, thunder and cloud machines, as well as traps and moving waves. About 30 stage sets have been preserved, all decorated with themes from 18th century repertoire.

We all kept our coats on. At his time of the year, the theatre is closed for the season.
