ABOUT THE OPERA

The Royal Swedish Opera is Sweden’s national theatre for opera and ballet, founded by Gustav III in 1773.

Every year, a number of productions are staged here: everything from brand-new works to classical masterpieces. We respect tradition, while embracing the future – in our three main areas: opera, ballet, and activities for children and young people.
