There’s a completely new ballet about Gustav III currently playing at the Royal Swedish Opera in Stockholm. I haven’t seen it myself and the only pictures I’ve found are very small, but you can see a clip from it. If anyone has seen it I’d love to hear what you thought.

Nu är jag ingen balletfantast, men både jag och pojkvännen uppskattade föreställningen mycket. Fantastiska scenkläder, duktiga dansare och fin korreografi. Det var ett speciellt och bra sätt att se Gustav IIIs regeringstid spelas upp på :-)

Kul att höra vad du tyckte! Jag hoppas jag får tid och råd att se den innan den slutar.

Interesting. You may know that Giuseppe Verdi’s opera “Un Ballo in Maschera” was written about the death of Gustav III, but Austrian censors made him change the setting because they were afraid it may give some ideas to the Italian people….
