Dalhalla

As I mentioned before, me and my sister are at home in Falun right now. We are writing an essay about a musical arena that is just like an amphitheater. It's situated in the middle of nowhere, in the province Dalarna, about an hour drive from Falun. What's so unique with this place is that the stage is in the bottom of this old limestone quarry, surrounded by an emerald green lake, and it's perfect for operas as its acoustic is amazing. Unfortunately, they are not doing that well and are dependent on grants and other financial support.

Today we had an interview with the CEO and he showed us around and told us all about their plans. This place is really amazing, beautiful and unique. If you ever come to visit you can't miss this place. And not to forget about the beautiful landscape. I'm proud to say that I'm from this province.

I took some pictures of this arena today that I want to upload as I get the time, so that you can see it in daylight. Imagine a concert here with all the effects you can think of such as water, fire, even pirate ships, and fireworks lightning everything up. Well, this place has got it all, plus the experience of the music!

This is Sweden =)

Love,
Kicki

Wow that looks amazing! I'll have to ask Stefan's mom if she has been to an opera there - it sounds familiar to me. Looking forward to seeing you in a month!
