“What we encounter is a barren environment devoid of all gewgaws. A simple circular platform fills the stage throughout the four acts, a solitary leafless tree in a corner, costumes are present day, apart from Desdemona, Emilia and Roderigo everybody wears uniforms. The storm that rages at the opening is illustrated through a bare lamp swaying back and forth across the stage. In other words it’s a peeled-off production concentrating on the human conflicts, making the drama even more tangible and urgent.” – Göran Forsling, Seen and Heard International, 29 July 2014

A most unusual opera house – a repurposed sawmill beside a lake near Kopparberg, in the forests of Sweden.
The only opera house in the world with its own railway station!
