The Rest Is Silence
Donald Macleod presents part of Mozart's Don Giovanni, staged in 2010 at Drottningholm, and visits the Riddarholmskyrkan Church in Stockholm, the scene of Gustavus III's funeral.
v) The Rest is Silence
Use of the Drottningholm Theatre has to be rationed each year to protect a national treasure. This summer Mozart's Don Giovanni was staged there and today brings an opportunity to hear part of the performance in the intimate space of the theatre.
At the end of a week of many new discoveries Donald visits the Riddarholmskyrkan Church in central Stockholm the scene of King Gustavus III's spectacularly theatrical funeral, with sumptuous music provided by Joseph Martin Kraus, and the place where he rests today.
