Maria Streijffert in tonight’s premiere of the Malmö Opera production of Kronbruden - The Crown Bride!
The opera by Ture Rangström is based on August Strindberg’s drama with the same name, with just minor alterations of the original text and with Strindberg’s consent, cutting the last scene of the original drama. It premiered in Stuttgart in a German version under the title Die Kronbraut in 1919.
About a hundred years later, this Swedish ‘Romeo and Juliet’ opera goes on tour with the Malmö Opera. The premiere tonight takes place at Stadsteatern Lund with further performances on stages in Southern Sweden until December 3!
