Overview

Drottningholm Court Theatre was built in 1766 for Queen Lovisa Ulrika and is one of the best-preserved theatres from this time period in the world.

So, what makes it so special? Well, it's the only working 18th-century theatre in the world. What's more, it still uses its original wooden stage machinery, which has to be operated by hand. Wowing audiences with 17th and 18th-century opera performances, this truly is a must-see for theatre and classical music-lovers alike. Your guide will tell you all about its storied past, along with facts about the current performances, the architecture, and stage design.

In 1991 the World Heritage Committee of UNESCO designated the theatre, together with Drottningholm Palace, the Chinese Pavilion, and the surrounding park, as being of international cultural heritage significance.

More impressive in person than the photos. (Plenty of time to explore afterward, we’d echo the hype online.)
