Läckö Castle Opera (Swedish: Läckö Slottsopera) is a summer opera company which has staged an opera each summer since 1997. Performances take place in the inner courtyard of the baroque Läckö Castle 25 km from the city of Lidköping in Sweden, normally during three weeks of the summer starting in the middle of July. ==History== The Castle Opera started in 1997 as an independent project where the Foundation of Läckö Castle made the courtyard available to an external producer. The audience's positive response to the first operas led the Foundation of Läckö Castle to assume responsibility as organizers from 2001 onwards. Opera performance became a part of the Foundation's regular activities, with an aim to show the castle to the public and contribute to the Lidköping area's high quality cultural experiences. In 2003 the Castle Opera initiated a collaboration with ''Musik i Väst'' (presently ''Kultur i Väst'' – ''Culture in the West'') that continues to this day. Simon Phipps, the former Artistic Director of ''Musik i Väst'', is the musical director for the opera performances at Läckö Castle Opera. A retractable sail roof was installed in 2006 in the inner courtyard of the castle as rain protection for the audience. The total roof area is 400 m2 divided into four sections; two of 120 m2 each and two of 80 m2 each. The Castle Opera received the Swedish magazine ''Operas Opera Prize (Swedish: Tidskrften Operas operapris) in 2011 for its 'daring repertoire policy', the first time the Opera Prize was awarded to an institution. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Läckö Castle Opera」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
