Stenborg Troupe - The Second Period

The Second Period

In 1773, the troupe, who's biggest problem was the difficulty to get localitys, and had to move from one place to the next over the years. Finally, they found a good place to perform; the so called Humlegårdsteatern, "The Humlegården Theatre", were they performed every summer until 1780. This was described as a sort of pavilion, Rotundan, in the public park Humlegården. Here, they played simple comedies in the native language, sometimes caricatures of the solemn performances in Bollhuset.

Humlegårdsteatern became a very popular part of the city's summer life; the opera-performances Thetis och Phelée became Petis och Nasenblom, Acis och Galathea became Kasper och Dorotea.
