| 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. Photo: Hans Mehlin Copyright © 2004 The Nobel Foundation |
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 pride the Stockholm Concert
Hall. Photo: Hans Mehlin Copyright © 2004 The Nobel Foundation |
