Artist Rufus Wainwright in a long-awaited intimate concert - directly one of the performances of Prima Donna: make the evening a unique experience and see both!
The multi-talented, to say the least, artist and composer Rufus Wainwright has delighted and surprised his fans since his debut album in 1998. Throughout his career he has created everything from singer-songwriter albums to the opera Prima Donna, a West End musical, a requiem and interpretations of Judy Garland, Shakespeare and Schubert. This is his first appearance at the Royal Swedish Opera in a minimalistic concert in which he accompanies himself on grand piano and guitar.
Your visit to the Opera
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!
-
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! Also remember not to bring large bags with you: only small bags (no larger than a standard A4 sheet of paper) will be allowed into the auditorium.
-
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!
