4 areas to get involved in
We must be at the forefront of our art forms, preserve our cultural heritage and be accessible to everyone - and we exist for our visitors, our artists and performers and for a society where culture and creativity are affirmed and freely created. We want more children to be able to explore their creativity and to experience the joy of being able to participate and create art together. We strive to give our visitors experiences that touch and enrich. Every day. And as Sweden's national stage for opera and ballet, what we offer must always be of the highest possible quality. Both nationally and internationally.
There are many ways to get involved in our house and help us develop and refine the performing arts. Our level of ambition is high, and in order for us to reach our goals; resources and cooperation with external stakeholders are required.

Questions and asnwers on how to support the Opera
-
Why do the Royal Swedish Opera collect private donations?
We solicitate funding because the Government has stipulated that the Royal Swedish Opera is to be the leading national institution for opera and ballet. The Royal Swedish Opera is to spearhead development, innovation, artistic excellence and craftsmanship. Preserving our legacy requires more than government subsidies. That is why we highly appreciate private donations.
-
What is the money you raise used for?
Donations and gifts are used to support our three main areas: opera, dance/ballet and Young at the Opera. Our mission is to preserve and develop our legacy, and to offer children and young people the opportunity to experience the arts, regardless of background, and to reach out to as many as possible.
-
Can I leave a gift in my will?
We are grateful for all bequests. Your gift is part of our legacy. We guarantee that your gift will be well invested and used in accordance with the conditions of your will. Unless you have explicitly named an area for your bequest, your gift will be used where it is most urgently needed.
Your will must be in writing, signed by your own hand and simultaneously attested by two witnesses. Neither witness may be a family relation. They do not need to be mentioned in the will, nor do they need to know its contents, but they must understand that the document they are signing is a will. We recommend discussing the terms of your will with a solicitor.
Bequests to the Royal Swedish Opera should be addressed to:
Kungliga Operan AB
