Kungliga Operan
Opera and ballet in magnificent surroundings
One of Stockholm's most impressive buildings is home to the Royal Opera House, as well as Sweden's national stage for opera and ballet. The repertoire includes both classic and new productions performed in a unique atmosphere.
The original Opera was built on the initiative of the monarch Gustav III and was completed in 1773. The same monarch was shot to death in the opera house in 1792, and exactly 100 years later the house was demolished and made way for the new building that is there today. Over the years, the Opera has been a venue for stage personalities such as Birgit Nilsson, Jussi Björling and Ingmar Bergman.
Every year, a number of productions perform on the Royal Opera's stage – from traditional masterpieces to newly written scripts - in three main areas: opera, dance and activities for children and young people. The building is also home to the Royal Ballet, the Royal Court Chapel and the choir of the Royal Opera.
As well as experiencing opera and ballet, you can take part in guided tours and exhibitions of various kinds, and the building also houses the largest theatre archive in Sweden. You can also settle down in Grodan restaurant, where they serve Swedish-French dishes in beautiful surroundings. Whatever your reason for visiting the Royal Opera House, you shouldn't miss Guldfoaljén, the Golden Foyer, which offers a fairytale atmosphere with crystal chandeliers and gold stucco on the walls.
Woooow! Första besöket på Operan, men inte det sista. Såg Svansjön-baletten, en magisk upplevelse✨ Själva föreställningen är ju magnifik med allt från kostymerna till musiken och den närmast omänskliga dansen (och då är jag helt novis vad gäller balett). Därtill är byggnaden värd ett besök bara i sig, så pampig och vacker. Drack ett glas i guldfoaljén mellan akterna, rekommenderas.

Reviews of Kungliga Operan
Om man kunde ge 7 stjärnor!! Här mår själen som bäst och Hit går jag så ofta jag kan. Större delen av hösten och vinter hittar man mig här framför en opera eller balett. Stämningen, rummen, inredningen och arkitekturen är fantastisk...
