Den girige

Den girige

Comic hit performance from Dramaten with a star-studded ensemble and Johan Rabaeus in the lead role. Misery and confusion, genius acting and nocturnal hardships are mixed into irresistible entertainment. It was Molière's plays in particular that were early hits in ballrooms all over Europe. His theater group Illustre Théâtre, which he ran from the age of 21 with his partner Madeleine Béjart, rented ballhouses in both cities and the countryside. The ball houses, both temporarily and permanently rebuilt, paved the way for spectacular performances for a wider, mixed audience. And it was precisely in a ball house exactly 250 years ago that the first Swedish opera premiered, performed in Stora Bollhuset in Stockholm on January 18, 1773.
