Drottningholm Comes to West Green House
" A few miles outside the Swedish capital Stockholm lies the palace of Drottningholm; in its grounds a magical 18th-century theatre, one of the wonders of the world of opera. Built in 1766, the theatre fell into disuse in the early years of the 19th century and lay hidden until it was rediscovered in the 1920s. Normally there is only one way to experience the delights of Drottningholm: get on a plane bound for Scandinavia. But in August 2008 Drottningholm will come to West Green House in Hampshire and perform Haydn's comic opera Il mondo della luna (Life on the Moon)."
