To honor the memory of Alfred Nobel, who spent the last years of his life in Sanremo, Italy, and died there on 10 December 1896, the city of Sanremo sends flowers every year to decorate the Stockholm Concert Hall and the Stockholm City Hall. This year, the Concert Hall was decorated with Sanremo's most ubiquitous flower - the carnation. |
The backdrop, with its red and cerise
tones, is decorated with carnations, gerbera, blood-red
roses, fescue grass and phaelenopsis orchids. Silver fir
and branches of juniper provide a contrasting Swedish winter
feel at the orchestra podium and the edge of the stage.
There are also stalks of lilac phaelenopsis. A total of
13,000 flowers deck the Stockholm Concert Hall. |
