Drottningholm: A Theatre Lost and Found

on BBC Radio 3

The beautiful little theatre at Drottningholm in Sweden has had two lives - the first in the 18th century as the Court Theatre of Queen Lovisa Ulrika and her remarkable son Gustav III , the second in our own age as an opera house of growing international importance.
With the help of contemporary accounts of its first life, interviews with people involved in its second, and music from both, Roger Savage investigates how far she has changed.
With the voices of ELISA-BETH SODERSTROM , MARY SKEAPING , CHARLES FARNcombe and HAKAN HAGEGARD. Readers NICOLETTE MCKENZIE and KENNETH SHANLEY
Producer GRAHAM SHEFFIELD gramophone records
