LANGUAGE:Italian, Swedish surtitles
A playful story with darkness at its core — an opera about romantic relationships, disguises, and desire, set to ingeniously crafted music by Mozart.
What starts as a wager spirals into a dangerous game that puts love and friendship at risk. The title, which is Italian for ‘Women are like that’, leads us into a story about testing the limits of fidelity. With an underlying seriousness, the comedy navigates its way between complicated situations. Director Clara Svärd places the action in a 1960s-evoking artist’s studio, where a charismatic philosopher subjects four young people to a psychological experiment that sends their emotions reeling. Two young couples have the opportunity to explore new sides of themselves, dipping their toes into the unknown. But how is love affected by the experiment? This is an opera that provokes, fascinates and entertains.

Your visit to the Opera
Frequently asked questions
-
At what time do I have to be at the Opera before the performance?
We recommend that you arrive at least half an hour before the performance begins. If you can arrive earlier, it's even better: 45 minutes before the start of the performance, there is a free audience introduction in the Golden Foyer - an excellent way to approach the performance! Please note that once the performance has started, no one will be allowed into the hall until after the first intermission.
-
It's my first time at the Opera - what do I do?
We have put together some useful tips for your visit. Otherwise, our best advice is to arrive on time - discover the Opera House, leave your coat in the cloakroom, eat or drink something. AND, ask our ushers - they'll be happy to help! Outerwear and bags should be left in the cloakroom for safety and evacuation reasons.
-
Can my ticket be rebooked or cancelled if I or someone in my party is ill?
You can rebook tickets yourself on the website up to 24 hours before the start of the performance within the the current season. Tickets cannot be cancelled (read more in our general terms and conditions).
-
Can you eat and drink at the Opera?
Of course you can! Our partner Restaurang Grodan is on the ground floor facing Strömgatan - take the opportunity to book a table ahead of your visit! Each floor also has a service with drinks and snacks, at the stalls' café there is a slightly larger selection. We advice you to pre-book the intermission service so it is ready and waiting for you during the interval!
