GOLDEN CONCERTS
at the Opera

It was immigrant fiddlers, "pipers and trumpeteers" who laid the foundation for the Royal Swedish Orchestra. Almost 500 years later, they are not only one of the world's oldest orchestras but also Sweden's largest with 105 musicians. From being a court music institution under king Gustav Vasa, they are, since the Royal Swedish Opera was founded in 1773, the heart of the house and unite all of its art forms.

You usually meet them in the orchestra pit, between the main stage and the auditorium stalls. But the orchestra's musicians also appear in other contexts, for example in connection with their popular concerts in the Golden Foyer. From more intimate chamber ensembles to larger groups of musicians – a Golden Concert always means that members of the Royal Swedish Orchestra offer a delightful evening concert.
