Royal Swedish Opera

This is the Royal Opera House.  A building with over 250 years, one of Sweden's leading cultural institutions. Incredibly beautiful building. My very first visit here! We saw the "Nutcracker" ballet which was absolutely outstanding!  I got a taste for it so there will be more visits. Will definitely be more visits!

Went to a ballet performance and it was beautiful, not only was the ballet amazing the building is absolutely beautiful, from the halls to the auditorium.

The Royal Swedish Opera, located in the heart of Stockholm, is a cultural gem that combines world-class performances with stunning architecture. The grand façade of the building is impressive, and stepping inside, you’re greeted by an opulent interior with gilded details, elegant chandeliers, and plush seating that sets the stage for a memorable night.

Amazing, went for a premiere of the balette about Gustab Badin Couschi, the unknown prince of Sweden. Amazing dancers, music, scenografie and dress, blown away!

Lunch concert, the room was beautiful and all the table was set. I sat down and enjoyed my Caesar salad and glass of vine and the conversation with the other table’s guests. After eating and coffee the concert started. It was enjoyable 30 minutes. Fantastic lunch a rainy day in May.

Wonderful Opera 'The Barber of Seville'. But I love the decorations in a historical style, not modern ones, and the costumes too. By the way, they were not bad, but in the same color scheme, and this does not happen in life. For complete immersion you need maximum naturalness, not licked purity

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A magnificent cultural gem in Stockholm! The Royal Swedish Opera House is an absolute must-visit for anyone in Stockholm. The building itself is stunning, with its elegant architecture and historic charm. I attended a performance of [mention the performance, if applicable] and was blown away by the incredible talent of the performers and the world-class production. The acoustics are perfect, creating an immersive experience that draws you into the performance. The staff were welcoming and professional, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable evening. Whether you're a fan of opera, ballet, or just want to soak in some of Stockholm's rich cultural heritage, this place is a true treasure. Highly recommend!

We went to our first opera performance, "The barberer of Seville" and got hooked. Absolutely stunning performance in a space that just breaths culture through out the history. Just the building itself is worth a visit with its amazing 250 year old architecture. But I highly recommend this specific performance, it's funny, captivating and well performed. It even had Swedish subtitles being displayed above the stage, which was a welcome surprise since I don't speak Italian. I never imagined I'd like it as much as I did! Pro tip; if you're on the 3rd level, bring something to sitt on, the chairs are quite uncomfortable!

WOW! I didn't know what to expect from the Royal Swedish Opera Ballet, this dance troupe is rarely talked about compared to the Paris Opera Ballet, Bolshoi Ballet, American Ballet Theater, or The Royal Ballet. But the Swedes did a phenomenal work art of Sleeping Beauty. The live orchestra, talented dancers, colorful costumes, and elaborate sets all worked together harmoniously to create a wonderful classic ballet...the Carabosse was mesmerizing and seductive! Be careful when buying tickets online for this opera house. I picked out a couple of seats for 330SEK($37) each. They looked decent on the website chart, which unfortunately is not to scale and doesn't fully project the true sharp horseshoe shape of the theater. The seats were still decent, but required turning your head sharply for 3 hours. Fortunately, the show wasn't sold out. After 15 minutes into the show, we snuck over to some better seats that were much central and provided a significantly better view. I guestimate these seats were 500-700+ SEK. Still, I would've been happy with the 330SEK seats, they would've been 50% more in America. Though I'm guessing tax revenue subsidizes the ticket costs, thanks Sweden! If you're into the Arts, go check out a concert, opera, or ballet at this classical & beautiful opera house.

The opera house is unbelievably beautiful. I appreciated that the opera we saw was in Swedish with Swedish captions, as well, despite the fact that I did not understand a damn thing hahaha.

It is hard to not give this venerable institution founded 1773 a top mark; it's the stage where La Nilsson, Jussi Björling, Nina Stemme, Nicolai Gedda, Jenny Lind, Christina Nilsson, Elisabeth Söderström, Anne Sofie von Otter, Sixten Ehrling, and Anneli Alhanko have performed. The Royal Opera is the Swedish National Stage for opera and ballet. I have now been here a number of times, and it is a building that is the ultimate turn of the century building that fills you with awe with an interior to match it; marble stair cases, red velvet and gold (the gilded hall is just made for drinking champagne), busts of King Gustavus III (the founder) and the singer Jenny Lind. The productions have lately started to break free of the conservative, and I am excited to see more challenging and moderna ballet productions, and a La Bohème transferred to Stockholm's Old Town. And I look forward to many new productions - just to mention one: the Ring cycle in 2017! So, why not a five-star review? To me it boils down to the service and welcoming by the people working there. Far too often the people working there come through as too snotty and a tad to self-grandizing in relation to us the visitors. Just by working at a venerable institution doesn't make you shimmer with gold, only your helpfulness and service can. Far too many visitors find the opera intimidating and that they may not be "worthy" visitors - don't add to that feeling!

Absolutely love every performance I have seen here! I am new in town and I have gone every month to each of the shows! Beautiful building! The performers are very passionate and talented! If you are in Stockholm, check it out!! Great prices for those under 25 years old!
