As dawn’s light barely begins to break, the first notes drift from the orchestra pit—a few chords, scattered melodies as the instruments tune up. The quiet murmur of the audience follows, people finding their seats, sharing hushed conversations. Then, the curtain rises.
Södermanlands Auktionsverk transports us into the enchanting world of theater with their latest collection. They've gone behind the scenes to curate costumes and attire from centuries of performance, spanning from the 1700s to a 2001 production at the Royal Opera. Among the treasures is a dress from the Royal Dramatic Theatre’s 1970 staging of Blood Wedding, along with iconic pieces from Arabella, Madame Butterfly, and Simon Boccanegra, evoking eras of dramatic flair and operatic grandeur.
