What can you do with a hole in the ground that used to be a limestone quarry 1,200 feet long, 525 feet wide and 180 feet deep? A former opera singer named Margareta Dellefors had an idea that acoustics here could provide the perfect setting for an open-air concert hall. She was right. The acoustics in Dalhalla are so good that many performances have been done without microphones or amplifiers. Just north of Rättvik, this hole, created by a meteor 360 million years ago, is now one of the most fascinating concert halls you will ever find.
