On November 15, 2025, the Royal Swedish Opera will present the first stage in Sweden of a work written and performed in Northern Sami. Jordens hjärta, Eatnama váibmu (The Heart of the Earth), is a newly written opera created by librettist Rawdna Carita Eira and composer Britta Byström, directed by Elle Márjá Eira. The story is based on a Sami creation myth with sibling drama, the struggle between good and evil and living in harmony with nature. The audience will encounter a visual reinterpretation of Sami tradition and a musical experience with both countertenor, large children's choir and elements of yoik.
