The opera offers performances and activities for children, young people, teachers and educationalists.
Welcome to our magical house!
Unga Operan har i uppdrag av regeringen att göra opera och balett tillgängligt för barn och unga. Genom föreställningar och pedagogiska aktiviteter vill Unga Operan öppna dörrar till scenkonstens värld och väcka nyfikenhet för Operahusets konstformer. Unga Operans utbud är brett och varierat, och riktar sig till barn och unga från förskoleklass till gymnasiet. Verksamheten möter barn både i skolan och på deras fritid, med aktiviteter som guidade visningar, workshops, föreställningar och Barnlördagar.
You can read more about our educational activities under the heading School.

Autumn 2025 with the Young OperaSummer listening!
The Music Box of the Heart is a musical storytime for children from 5-8 years old where the Young Opera invites you to a musical journey of discovery to classic tunes by Verdi, Offenbach, Rachmaninoff, Pachelbel, Minkus, Dvorak and Schubert.
A newly written fairy tale about the magical power of music is told and sung, accompanied by specially arranged music for cello and a music box (!) that plays up to 30 notes with its 20 meter (sic!) long strip.
