An Icy Peacock


The elfs and the normal peacock on the pantomime theatre in Tivoli, has been replaced this Christmas with babushka dolls (actually they are matryoshka dolls) and a peacock with a ice-blue-and-white colour scheme. The dolls are part of a treasure hunt for children that will take them to various parts of the garden.

Pantomime




One of the oldest traditions in Tivoli is the Pantomime with Harlequin, Columbine and Pierrot performed on this Chinese style peacock stage. The performance dates back to 1874 when the theater replaced an older one. The absence of dialog is an advantage as Tivoli now has an international audience.
