Dalhalla
is an outdoor arena, seating 4,000, all with excellent view and
acoustic. Concert-goers should wear leisure clothes and sturdy shoes; there are
warm cushions and raincoats to buy and blankets for rent. Umbrellas are
not permitted during shows. There are several snack bars and
cafeterias: you mayn't bring your own alcoholic beverages.
360
million years ago a colossal meteor created Lake Siljan, one of the only
three places in the world where you can clearly see how the natural landscape
has been affected by such an impact. Dalhalla's stage is in Draggängarna, a
former quarry where limestone mining created a natural amphitheatre – 400 m
long, 175 m wide and 60 m deep – a unique festival stage of international repute
with exceptional acoustics, comparable to the best outdoor stages in Europe. The audience gets in two hours before showtime (Procol play at 8 pm). Restaurant guests get in 2.5 hours before showtime.
All would-be concert-goers kindly note: from the parking place to the seats in the auditorium is approximately 20 minutes' walk !
