Welcome to the autumn season at the Royal Swedish Opera

It's soon time to renovate the beautiful opera house, but before the house temporarily closes, we're filling it with music, opera and ballet. As usual, simply put.

From the jubilee Royal Swedish Orchestra to a new production of a Mozart opera and Sweden's only classical ballet company: there are many reasons to come to the Royal Swedish Opera this autumn. Tickets go on sale on April 21, but if you want to secure your visits now, you can purchase a subscription and secure your seats starting April 8.

From spring 2027, why not join us at the Gasometer for new exciting experiences?
