»Dear audience, prepare yourselves for a season like no other. While the opening of our season may be slightly delayed due to the grand renovation of our beloved Opera House, we assure you that the passion, creativity, and sheer brilliance of the Royal Swedish Ballet will shine brighter than ever before.

First up, we present our new creation Gustavia – a breathtaking tale that unravels the untold story of Badin, a remarkable figure from Sweden's history. A riveting narrative transformed into a balletic masterpiece, pulsating with the energy of a drama-packed film. Led by the visionary director Amir Chamdin and the acclaimed choreographer Pär Isberg, creator of our Nutcracker, our talented artists will transport you into a realm where reality meets the extraordinary.

We also invite you to get whisked away into the enchanting world of Askungen – a timeless family-friendly fairytale ballet that took the audiences by storm upon its premiere in 2022. Choreographed by the brilliant Tamara Rojo, this interpretation of Prokofiev's classic masterpiece has a delicate balance between poignancy and joy. As our talented ensemble, brimming with youthful energy and exuberance, breathes life into this beloved tale, be prepared to witness magic unfold before your very eyes.

Get ready for an autumn season filled with wonder, emotion, and unforgettable moments that will leave you longing for more. The stage is set, the dancers await – let the magic begin!«
