Liljevalchs/Gröna Lund

The spring salon at Liljevalchs is a dear, contentious, and lively tradition since its inception in 1921. The spring salon is a jury-judged exhibition. All works are for sale and the price is set by the participants themselves.

Director and choreographer Benke Rydman is back with an entirely new production where the audience is placed on stage, right among the performers. There, they will experience life’s rollercoaster up close through dance, live music, and stage art. An innovative experience where boundaries are blurred, and togetherness sparks hope.

Culture & Arts

A composer suffering from writer’s block abandons the woman he loves to follow Der ferne Klang (The Distant Sound). The turning point in Franz Schreker’s career, his opera about Fritz and Grete, is a Late-Romantic work that alternates in tempo, dynamics and strong emotion. The critically-acclaimed director Christof Loy’s production from 2o19 is back with Agneta Eichenholz and her highly acclaimed interpretation of Grete.
