First time and a very positive experience. Nice and relaxed treatment and refreshments. It will be more times but then with a better view, because it's not like a cinema where you'll see where you are.
Even though this area is busy is kept very clean, much to say about the Swedish!
The place to go for Opera and Ballet. Good food too.
Hard benches for my back, otherwise good fine acoustics
Amazingly beautiful with the red warm color and other decoration.
Good performance Rosenkavaljeren but sooo terribly hot up in the stands for 4 hours and 26 minutes !!! Nice building our opera but the ventilation was non-existent. The guide to the opera was
This old building is simply fantastic. I've already seen a few operas but that's really something that you won't soon forget .. Really beautiful
It's a beautiful building, but in the saloon you're seated like a prawn without any leg space. You're still there to see an opera, which doesn't necessarily make it any better either.
An incredibly beautiful hall if you want a wedding in a royal place. Incredibly fine.
Great Operahouse but terrible online booking system that reverses booking date to earliest date if you change seat details from student etc.so be on the lookout for that when booking online on mobile etc. Otherwise thee best in town.
Many good opera performances, nice staff and good food during break.
Small place for a very high entrance. Music was also not up to the mark. People come in to mingle.
Amazing Opera house. Well worth a visit to view the gorgeous interiors but as a fan of Opera I have tickets booked for the upcoming seasons a year in advance. Great variety of prices. Always an experience.
Only seen it from the outside. Mesmerising architecture.
An intimate, exceedingly close-quartered experience. Hope your neighbors are well and frisk or you may be distracted by their coughing and sniffles and your certainty that their viruses are circulating successfully in the warm air. The space is nevertheless lovely but be sure to splurge on seats with an unobstructed view - the performances are quite affordable so don't cut corners or you will be essentially listening to a cast album while contemplating the light fixtures (and a pervading sense of doom that you will be sick shortly after the performance). Important tip: pre-order your fika and get your automatic table-booking - you won't regret this! Go often - while it's not Milano or Palermo it is a wonderful Stockholm asset.
I would like to point out the beautiful iron benches of the flowerbed in front of the theater,
The Royal Opera is a beautiful concert hall Carmen was a magnificent experience.
I saw Dracula. Wow, what a place. Beautiful building, both exterior and interior. The Dracula opera was awesome o what stage art and makeup. Bravo
Good food, but small portions and too little vegetables compared to meat.
Welcoming with well-functioning service in terms of serving and closet
Magestiful, amazing place with great layout, sound quality and so much history.
Incredible I went to see the opera on the day of the festival it was good good attention comfortable seats and the place is very interesting there is a lot to see
Gorgeous amazing and such modern works of art! Absolutely amazing and you do NOT want to miss out on experiencing this fine institution. =)
Classical old-style opera house. Posh and lavish decorations with marble and gold and of course crystal chandeliers. The theatre is old but comfortable enough. The playlist is very traditional and the standard is high. The operas are sung in their original language and subtitled into Swedish through a display above the stage.
Very nice performance. Nice to hear Sinom in the choir. Thank you for a nice evening
Great country visited ..with everything
Its monuments and statues ... to see
I went to see Figaro's wedding in Swedish. I did not understand anything but the theater inside is worth a visit
Really impressive opera house. Definietly worth a visit.
Beutifull old Opera although comfort is not so good in the seats if taller than 180
Very classic place. Good restaurant and also bar on floor 2 is divinely nice
The real Swedish meatballs experience. Lovely staff and fantastic food
Even you don't understand the Swedish subtitles, it would be worth than how they priced for their operas. One of the best over the world.
Madam Butterfly nice performance in wonderfully beautiful setting
Today, Sweden is investing in a new national scene for opera and ballet. This is not worthy of the level at which the ensemble and the dancers perform.
The royal facility in central Stockholm is a remarkable building
Kungliga Operan, The Royal Swedish Opera House, is a world-renowned institution that has been entertaining audiences for over 240 years. Located in Stockholm, Sweden, the opera house is not only home to the Royal Swedish Opera but also to the Royal Swedish Ballet, Young at the Opera program, and the Royal Swedish Orchestra. Together they create unforgettable experiences for adults, children and families alike.
The history of Kungliga Operan dates back to 1773 when King Gustav III founded it as a way to bring culture and entertainment to his people. Since then it has become one of Europe's most prestigious opera houses with a rich history of performances by some of the world's greatest artists.
Today Kungliga Operan continues its tradition of excellence by presenting an array of operas and ballets throughout its season. From classic works like Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro" and Verdi's "La Traviata" to contemporary pieces like Philip Glass' "Satyagraha," there is something for everyone at this iconic venue.
In addition to its mainstage productions, Kungliga Operan offers educational programs through its Young at the Opera initiative. This program provides opportunities for young people from all backgrounds to experience opera firsthand through workshops and performances designed specifically for them.
Another unique aspect of Kungliga Operan is its commitment to sustainability. The opera house has implemented several initiatives aimed at reducing their environmental impact including using renewable energy sources such as wind power and geothermal heating/cooling systems.
But what truly sets Kungliga Operan apart from other opera houses around the world is its stunning architecture. Designed by architect Axel Anderberg in 1898-1905 in neo-classical style with Art Nouveau elements on top floor balconies; it features grand staircases leading up into ornate foyers adorned with crystal chandeliers that lead into opulent auditoriums filled with plush red velvet seats.
Overall, Kungliga Operan offers an unparalleled cultural experience that combines history, artistry and innovation all under one roof. Whether you are a seasoned opera-goer or someone looking for a new cultural adventure - this iconic institution should be on your must-visit list when traveling through Stockholm!
