Help us build our pointe shoe Christmas tree! We just started building this year's tree. Instead of baubles, we fill it with pointe shoes - and you who decide how many shoes will decorate it. The Christmas tree is built for the benefit of the Royal Swedish Ballet and as a thank you for your support, you are invited to a Christmas tree looting together with the dancers on January 3.

Help us build the Christmas tree

By donating to the pointe shoe appeal, you help us fill up our Christmas tree with pointe shoes. For every SEK 200 that is donated, we add a pair of pointe shoes. And, those who donate at least SEK 200 are welcome to our Christmas tree plundering where you can meet dancers from the Royal Swedish Ballet and receive a pair of signed shoes as a token of our appreciation. You can also choose one of our other gifts.

Please note that you must r.s.v.p. to the Christmas tree looting below.

Support instead of spending

Black Friday at the Opera marks the start of the Point Shoe Appeal Christmas Campaign where your contribution supports the development of the Royal Swedish Ballet.

During December, we traditionally build up our pointe shoe Christmas tree, which we decorate with pointe shoes from our dancers in the Royal Swedish Ballet. Anyone who donates SEK 200 or more to the Pointe Shoe Appeal in December is welcome on January 4, when the dancers will sign the shoes for you to bring home. The perfect Christmas gift for real ballet fans!
