The Royal Opera and Idun Lovén Art School Create Art in Flemingsberg
In Flemingsberg, education, art, and culture come together in a unique way. Now, the Royal Opera and Idun Lovén Art School are launching a collaboration where students will work side by side with professional set painters to create a backdrop painting that will adorn the opera’s foyer in Scenhuset in Flemingsberg.
The project begins during the autumn term and aims to give young artistic talents a unique insight into the traditions and techniques of theatrical painting. Students will be encouraged to contribute their own ideas, and after selection, they will be offered a masterclass in backdrop painting, guided by the Royal Opera’s experienced staff.
“It feels very exciting to start this collaboration. I hope and believe that both the students and we at the Royal Opera’s decoration workshops will learn a lot during this period. For us, it is also important to encourage new talents and help more gifted students discover the opportunities available at a workplace like the Royal Opera,” says Jonas Lundquist, Head of the Royal Opera’s Decoration Workshops, in a press release.
For the Idun Lovén Art School, the project provides students with a chance to develop their skills and gain experience that can become important tools for their future artistic work.
“We are very happy about the opportunity to collaborate with the Royal Opera. I am convinced that this work will be an inspiring challenge, giving our students a unique insight into the tradition and methods of backdrop painting,” says Kico Wigren, Principal of the school, in the Royal Opera’s press release.
The collaboration strengthens Flemingsberg as a place where creativity, education, and culture meet. The project demonstrates how local initiatives can contribute to a vibrant cultural life, while providing students with valuable opportunities to develop and build networks.
