Extremely beautiful local and wonderful performance. Saw and heard well even though we sat at the back of the top third row fund. Had better if there were free wardrobes on several floors and if the toilets were larger or non-sexed, then there were long queues to the lady before the stern.

Amazingly nice that we have this kind of culture buildings left and that are used for the right purpose.
Possibility to be able to imagine refreshments for the break and comfort facilities at all levels.

Great experience! The buildings are gorgeous and the bar terrace is excellent and it is worth going a little earlier to enjoy it if the weather permits. The performance was spectacular, the scenery beautiful. If you find a show worth a visit.

The quality of everything from the music, the performances, the scenography and the acoustics is extraordinary. In addition, fantastic experiences and stories, as well as incredible general education about Europe's culture.

A really nice building and probably a good place to enjoy an opera performance. I have only been to the small hall so far, where I had the chance to enjoy a so called lunch concert, but that was a really nice experience.

Opera supply has been good during the current manager. Nice atmosphere in the house, good idea with so many servings and table booking via computer. But everything is expensive. Operational tickets and especially the servings. If you can only afford a pleasant evening.

Applies to ticket purchases only. Several times I was knocked out with motivation: "You cannot leave single places. Please choose another place that meets your needs. Thank you!" I often go alone at the Opera and often. It is not right that the Opera controls my choice where should I sit because I am alone, I think. Do you save two places for a couple? Am I worse?

I haven't actually been to an opera here, but I did the guided tour and it was really informative and entertaining to listen to and learn. Made me interested in watching an opera. So it definitely do its job.

About Kungliga Operan, The Royal Swedish opera House

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!
