Stålboga Summer Opera

On 17 September 1650 Christina, Queen of Sweden issued a nobility letter for Stålboga Mill, which included tax exemption.

From the late 17th century the land area of the property was approximately 5,000 hectares, with its own blast furnace and iron mine.

As a starting point Dr. Juto was able to acquire the late 18th century state room interiors of the De Geer family's great city palace in Stockholm, razed in 1926 to make way for the new headquarters of Swedish industrialist Ivar Kreuger's match business, the predecessor of Swedish Match.

[4] At the time of construction of the music pavilion the interior decorations had then been stored for 80 years at the De Geer family's estate at Lövstabruk.

[6] The pavilion was built by the same carpenters who rebuilt the dome of Katarina Church in Stockholm after the fire in 1990, with Swedish timber from Dalarna using 18th century methods, including hand forged nails.

Management has therefore chosen a repertoire with limited cast and orchestra requirements, and has strived to find plots that harmonize with the intimate character of the 17th century interior.
