It will be an evening of singing, music, dancing, sweet and savory and glasses of sparkling. Mingle with your friends on the Golden Terrace, try your luck at our gaming tables and experience some of the ballroom dances from the past. Our cicerone guides us through the evening as we designate the best costume, auction off experiences in the Opera House and of course, more surprises.
Tickets for the Masquerade Ball cost 2500 SEK. The ticket price includes champagne, canapés, entertainment by singers, musicians and dancers from the Royal Swedish Opera's soloists, the Royal Swedish Orchestra and the Royal Swedish Ballet, as well as late night snacks and a dance floor open until the early hours. As a masquerade guest, you will also contribute to the preservation and development of the Royal Swedish Opera's art forms, for example now when the activities are elsewhere during the renovation years.
Come and celebrate a unique evening with us in true masquerade ball tradition!
Frequesntly 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!
