On the evening of August 12, 2026, King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden attended a performance of the opera “Carmen” as part of the 2026 Salzburg Festival. Among the other attendees were Prince Leopold of Bavaria and his wife, Uschi, as well as Prince Alexander zu Schaumburg-Lippe and his wife, concert pianist Mahkameh. For the occasion, Queen Silvia wore a purple gown by Georg et Arend.

Nice color and model on my beautiful queen. And a handsome guy by her side.
ReplyDeleteTrue. She is very elegant and good-looking at age 82! Amazing.
DeleteHow very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteA very elegant gown and the color is beautiful on the Queen. I wish that the waistline was better fitting, but that is a minor detail.
ReplyDeleteHer jewels for a simple opera audience evening are stupendous. She’s so glamourous this queen. I wonder what her diet and exercise preferences have been over her life. She appears in beautiful health and shape.

ReplyDeleteI know every corner in Salzburg, curious as to where the concert took place?
ReplyDeleteFashionwise: Q.Silvia surely stands out, what a splendid saturated shade of purple for her gown and shawl!
The lady with the deep forest green coloured gown looks good, though I think there is something off in the bodice structure, don't know what exactly.
Carmen is not a concert, it is an opera and as such, no really other option than the Festspielhaus. - The lady in green is the Festival president and her outfit could be from Victoria Beckham - her negligée-like slip dresses worn by everybody who comes near to her look like the wearer forgot to put on the real gown over it. This is not different in this case.
DeleteDie Aufführung findet im großen Festspielhaus statt.

Oh, thank you so much@ Anonymous 14:55.
DeleteYou know, I'm Italian and I have been appreciating lyrical music since I was a teenager (my mother was a professional pianist for some time in her life).
Of course, I know "Carmen"!
I understand you were upset by the word concert ,which I used just because I attended one in Salzburg some time ago..
May I ask you to get some more detailed information regarding other famous music locations in Salzburg?
Das Festspielhaus is not the only one.
What a beautiful color for qµeen Silvia. The dress is simple and the flower on the left shoulder is the only ornament, which I like. Q.S. looks very good. I also like the lady in the black top and golden skirt. The short necklace with black pearls looks very chic.
ReplyDeleteWow…beautiful color on Sylvia. She looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteSilvia!
DeleteShe looks just smashing... stunning is probably the word, wow!
ReplyDeleteCette couleur violette sied à merveille à la Reine ; est-ce que ses boucles d'oreilles ainsi que le collier sont composés d'améthystes ?
ReplyDelete👏👏 B.R.A.V.O so elegant dress
ReplyDeleteI can only repeat what has been written here a couple of times: Silvia is and looks absolutely terrific, her style and taste are unwaveringly excellent.
ReplyDeletePurple is my favorite colour and I think the shade of this dress is spectacular. Since it is such a vibrant colour the designer was wise to keep the style very simple letting the colour shine without being overpowering. The floral detail on the shoulder and the matching belt are more than enough. Sylvia looks fabulous.
ReplyDeleteWords fail me - she looks totally amazing. She could pass for 20 years younger not just her skin ( Probably has had work done as do most royals in the spotlight all the time) but she looks so slim, fit, healthy and trendy! LRB
ReplyDeleteThis dress and jewels are perfection on the Queen…bright and flattering color, elegant shoulder design detail, and the length of the necklace is perfect. Stunning!
ReplyDeleteSylvia est somptueuse je dirais wouah
ReplyDeleteFroufrou
The colour,material and style of the dress is gorgeous but it does not fit correctly at her midriff and the necklace is such a good accessory the flower on the shoulder is superfluous, imo!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking gown and fitting color. A man in a tux is always great looking. Nice to see the Prince and Pss of Bavaria there as well also the Schaumburg- Lippe Royals. Salzburg is so romantic they are all in the right place to enjoy themselves.
