The opera offers performances and activities for children, young people, teachers and educationalists.
Welcome to our magical house!
One of the Opera's most important missions is to create relevant performances for children and young people and to make it possible for children and young people to practice culture. This is where the Young Opera – which is one of the three artistic legs of the Royal Swedish Opera – comes into the picture. For over ten years, we have created the conditions for young culture.
Every season we offer opera and dance performances for children and young people. This can be anything from a general art piece for babies to an "operatic thriller" for teenagers.
We open the doors to the Opera House in many ways; currently through children's Saturdays and holiday activities. The activities can include screenings, costume rehearsals and concerts.
The Young Opera works actively with schools and educational activities - you can read more about this under the heading School.
