Dalhalla (Rattvik)
World-famous artists have performed in the arena, and many of the most famous operas have been staged. Optimal acoustics Acoustic measurements confirmed an unusually low level of noise at the bottom of the quarry. The rebuilt arena was officially opened in summer 2000 with the Swedish King and Queen in attendance. A very extensive crater was formed by the impact, as the pressure wave blasted away much of the sedimentary layer from the crystalline rock. Since then, the list of high-class events held at Dalhalla is long.

She immediately saw the potential of the quarry for use as a music arena. Nowadays, we can use the word figuratively, and induction or admission into a modern-day Valhalla doesn't require passing from this life. In Norse mythology, the souls of warriors who died nobly in battle were brought to a magnificent palace, where they spent their days fighting for diversion, immune from lasting injury, and their evenings lustily feasting on freshly killed boar and quaffing the free-flowing mead. The sedimentary layer formed a ring around the edge of the meteorite crater. With its acoustically designed stage, and with the audience sitting in the amphitheatre, Dalhalla can now be compared with classical stages in Ancient Greece and Italy. The location was ideal, far away from all buildings, and well-shielded against noise pollution from roads and industry.

This is called the Siljan Ring, with a diameter today of approximately 50 km. The project was supported by RĂ€ttvik municipality and Dalarna County Council. The sound trial also confirmed that the high, almost vertical rock walls produced a very good reverb without a disturbing echo. Tectonic movements distorted the horizontal layers of sedimentary rocks, and they became almost vertical. The first concert was held in 1994 and the official opening was on 21 June 1995, with the performance of a major opera. She was appointed project manager for the entertainment programme.

. English speakers picked up the name as Valhalla in the 18th century. The upright layers of rock were ideal for quarrying the limestone that forms the raw material for a large variety of construction, agricultural, environmental, and industrial materials. In autumn 1999 the stage and seating area were rebuilt to increase the capacity from 2600 to 4000. . .
