Friday, November 15 - A friend took me to the Royal Swedish Opera House to see the Swan Lake ballet. Stunning!
Historical Cliff Notes: The original opera house was commissioned by King Gustav III and inaugurated in 1782. Unfortunately, ten years later the king was shot in the foyer of the opera house and died 7 days later. The opera house was then closed for many years, re-opened, then demolished in 1882 to build the current opera house which was inaugurated in 1898.
