Ring Cycle Ousted By Aging Hippies And Eurovision Runners-up

Statement from Dalhalla Opera below (Badly translated by TW).

There will be no opera at Dalhalla in August 2014. The Board of Directors of the Association of Dalhalla Friends (FDV) has with great surprise and disappointment received news that Dalhalla AB (DFAB) hastily decided to lease opera critical period dates August 8 to 9, 2014 to commercial operator Rättviksvägen Events

The decision cancewls opera productions in 2014 and will impact hundreds of musicians and artists.

The production of Das Rheingold in 2013 meant a highly acclaimed relaunch of high quality opera at Dalhalla. The set was hailed in both in Sweden and internationally.

FDV has invested heavily in the rebuilt opera business on Dalhalla, with the past year's Das Rheingold production a result of this. Opera Art's presence on Dalhalla has strong political support in the region, a support that also expressed in an annual contribution of about 550 000 from Lake Siljan municipalities. Yet DFAB has still lease the time to commerical intersts

DFAB's handling indicates a de-prioritization of operatic art that is at odds with the cultural aspirations of the region. World class opera should be a natural ingredient in the arena.

DFAB's behavior has aroused consternation in both the international and local cultural life

For all of those that call certain Wagner productions "Eurotrash" This alas, maybe the "real thing. Book your tickets now for Diggiloo 2014.
