LOVE & CHAOS
Absurdist guest performance at
the Drottningholm Court Theatre
What would you get if you put the ingredients of a traditional opera into a blender? Out comes musical theater that both amuses and alarms, both seduces and bewilders. The idiosyncratic artist and director Doug Fitch presents Love & Chaos, a hybrid performance that is both concert and opera, together with the Royal Swedish Orchestra and the Royal Swedish Opera Chorus, conducted by Alan Gilbert, music director and Royal Court Kapellmeister. An excursion to the Drottningholm Court Theatre that you will not soon forget.
Hear the fantastic soloists Ida Falk Winland, Johanna Rudström, Niklas Björling Rygert, Klas Hedlund, Ola Eliasson, Lennart Forsén and Kristian Flor in a context you could never have imagined. The audience will be taken on a wild journey through a story of unexpected love, dragons, and brave heroics set to the beloved operatic works of composers such as Mozart, Rossini, Weber, Cimarosa, and P.D.Q. Bach, the deservedly forgotten, zany, recently discovered brother of his more well-known sibling, all curated by Doug in new and unexpected ways... If he ever existed?
»A hyperbolic tale weaved between many tales from the history of opera«
DOUG FITCH, DIRECTOR
Alan Gilbert and Doug Fitch, who have collaborated on several occasions before, describe the performance as a magical evening of operatic fantasy where the audience gets to experience fantastic music in new and unexpected ways – sometimes in comically absurd ways. Love & Chaos is an unforgettable tribute to the art of opera and theater that shouldn't be missed!
A COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE ROYAL SWEDISH OPERA & THE DROTTNINGHOLM COURT THEATRE.
PLEASE NOTE THAT TICKETS ARE PUCHASED AT THE DROTTNINGHOLM COURT THEATRE'S BOOKING SITE.
