Drottningholm Court Theatre celebrates Her Majesty Queen Silvia's 50th anniversary as Queen of Sweden with Alessandro Stradella's (1643–1682) oratorio San Giovanni Battista. One of Queen Kristina's favourite composers, Stradella provides the perfect link to the evening's second celebration: the 400th anniversary of Queen Kristina's birth. From one queen to another.
