Opera House - Stockholm - Sweden
The art of opera first made its appearance in Sweden at the beginning of the 18th century. The first performances were given by visiting theatre companies from abroad, and not until the early 1770s did any truly Swedish opera emerge. In 1771 King Gustaf III dismissed the French opera group that had for some decades been performing at the Bollhuset on the hill by the Royal Castle in Stockholm and founded a Swedish opera company instead. All opera was to be sung in Swedish. By ""importing"" Italian and German composers like Francesco Uttini, Joseph Martin Kraus, Johann Gottlieb Naumann and Abb? Vogler and getting them to compose operas to texts by Swedish poets, the King laid the foundations for a Swedish opera art. Gustavian opera stands out as a concept all of its own in the musical history of Sweden. During Gustaf's reign many great works were written, such as Naumann's Gustaf Wasa to a libretto by Johan Henrik Kellgren (following a concept by Gustaf III himself) and Kraus's Aeneas in Carthage, also to a text by Kellgren.
