The Royal Dramatic Theatre (Dramaten)

Royal Dramatic Theatre from Nybroplan

Since 1909, The Royal Dramatic Theatre has been the national home for the dramatic arts - sited in a popular public space in central Stockholm called Nybroplan ('New Bridge Square'), which faces the Nybroviken waterfront and connects a number of major urban throughfares in the city. The Art Nouveau / Neo-Baroque building was designed by Swedish architect Fredrik Lilljekvist that, at the time of construction, was criticized for being too ornate for the Scandinavian city and excessively over budget.
