Approached through miles of silent Swedish pine and birch forest above Lake Siljan, the earth suddenly drops away into a 400-metre-long, 60-metre-deep chasm carved from ancient limestone compressed by a Paleozoic meteor impact. The stage floats behind a moat of vivid turquoise-green groundwater while rough-hewn vertical rock walls deliver acoustics compared by opera critics to ancient Epidaurus.
