CLOAKROOMS

The Opera follows general regulations regarding safety at major events. For a safe environment for all, we kindly ask our visitors not to bring large bags to the house when visiting. Outerwear and bags are not admitted into the auditorium and must be checked into the cloakrooms. This does not apply to bags samller than 21x29 cm. At the Opera, there are staffed cloakrooms on every tier. The cloakroom fee can be prepaid online when purchasing a ticket, or when pre-ordering refreshments (book before perfomance, "Före"), and also paid by card or "swish" in the cloakrooms - SEK 30 per person, children free. On the north side of the 2nd tier, we have an unmanned cloakroom, free of charge. Please note that you are not allowed to leave bags unattended in the cloakroom.

BE THERE EARLY

Arrive in good time before the performance starts - preferably at least half an hour - you will have time to find your seat, check in your coat in the cloakroom and maybe eat and drink something. When the performance has started, no one is allowed into the auditorium until after the first interval.

LENGTH OF THE PERFORMANCE

To find out the length of a performance, check the “Our repertoire” section.

TICKETS

Tickets bought online can be printed or presented digitally on a smartphone or similar. Your has a barcode and is valid for a specific performance. The barcode is activated when you buy the ticket. It is possible to print a new ticket or send a new one via email from your account at operan.se (if, for example, you have lost your original ticket). If you print a new ticket or send a new one via email, the original ticket is invalid.
The barcode is unique for each ticket and is valid only once: this means that the ticket scanned by the usher first is valid. Therefore, handle your ticket with care and do not share the barcode with others via f.ex. social media.

PHOTOGRAPHY & RECORDING

Please note that the use of cameras, video recorders, audio recorders or other types of recording equipment during performances is strictly forbidden.

There is no dress code at the Royal Swedish Opera, but a night at the opera is a great excuse to dressed up. Otherwise, wear whatever makes you feel comfortable.
