Beautiful venue. As a visitor from the UK I really enjoyed watching a ballet here it was a comfortable enjoyable experience and well worth checking if there is anything you're interested in on your visit to Stockholm.
Always as nice at the Royal Opera! I am a frequent visitor who is impressed every time by the quality of the performances and the pleasures of the breaks. You get what you pay for!
The Stockholm Operahouse gives you an authentic feeling of 1780 when it was opened by King Gustaf III. The interior red velvet and the massiv chandeliers from the vaulted ceiling defect the golcovered decorations of the barock styled balconies. The plays are both classic and modern with light effects and other techniques. The ballet dancers when performing seem like they never touch the floor. The Swan lake was unforgettable. Elegant.
The Royal Opera in Stockholm is a must for visitors of Sweden. Not big but absolutely beautiful inside. It is easy to find your seat (not like in big opera houses), enough time to drink champain in the Golden hall or on the balconies with beautiful views. What opera or ballet to prefer? It is really up to your taste.
Oh, this beautiful cultural heritage. Can sit for a long time and just look at decorating and decorating details. Very nice and guiding staff! Thanks!
Because of messy weather, he does not get into the salon on time. Sadly we were very well treated by the thoughtful staff, were offered to see the first act on display in the restaurant along with nice company, which was not even in time. After a glass of wine and first class service of the staff we could enjoy a magic other act of Rigoletto. Thanks!
Beautifully. Great performances. Unfortunately under-sized. During the break you can hardly buy a cava if you have not pre-ordered food and even then it is crowded. Hard nut to crack as I gladly see that it is not broken.
Beautiful place as a building, beautiful place as a home for art. Dracula was a masterpiece!
Wonderful experience. Knowledgeable and helpful staff. Very good coffee and cake in the break.
Unfortunately I did not get to watch a show inside the Royal opera House, but this is a very beautiful building and worth walking by and check out the interior.
'Lagom' building in which a fabulous king of Sweden, Gustav III was murdered in (ironically he built it). Nowadays offers amazing operas inside and a great restaurantz
The tour for pupils is highly recommended. The tour guide was very patient and knew the answer to every question.
Fantastically beautiful!
Seating at the top to see the wonderful ceiling, walk around the entire building and enjoy all the great room and stairs!
Friendly staff will help you all the way
One of the world's most beautiful operas with a fascinating repertoire. Not only opera, but also ballet and modern dance. Don't miss the exciting guided tour, here Gustav is managed by the third of conspirators. The spirit, of course, remains in the building.
No tickets were received for the guided tour, but it was also nice. Comfortable for 1.5 hours . The guide was somebody and it was noticed by the confusing presentation.
On a regular weekend so opra is really good but on big event days they let in too much people so it doesn't get any fun anymore.
Acoustically not as good as Milan or Dresden, but still acceptable for the period of construction
This is only a description of the facilities, not of the artistic.
Seats have less legroom than Ryan Air, especially in the balcony and upwards, which gives a claustrophobic experience. In addition, the serving of the break reminds us of something from the 1970s, with old ones taking thermocaffeine into a fortune.
Primarily odd that tickets over the net can not be bought with the VISA debit. Most of the rest of Europe and Sweden do not have this discrimination.
That is a redo. On the other hand, extremely friendly staff, which just ensures the second of two stars.

Always great music and singers. Real enjoyment! However, the chairs in the poorer places are very cramped and cause pain in the back. There are two slow little lifts. Everyone else has to go up the stairs. However, it is always fantastic to go to the opera so all it is worth it: D
Inside it is really beautiful and elegant ... the exciting New Year's concert
You feel the richness when you walk on the wonderfully carpeted floor. Was here during kulturnytt 2018. Place has great acoustics and interior
Soultrain-Absolutely ok for an aw a friday, fun concept opens 17 closes 23 then aw guests can vacate and make room for club
Great environment. Good service, but as in most places too few ladies toilets.
Beautiful place. Went there for a wedding ceremony and it was the most amazing place for such an occasion. Of course it is a splendid place for an opera as well, but that was not the reason to my latest visit.
Always wonderful at the Opera. Lovely environment and talented singers! Saw Madame Butterfly tonight. A great show!
Nice place to visit! Beautiful building, fancy decoration and important plays on the Opera House schedule!
But avoid the side seats and go for the central ones, otherwise is not possible to have a great view of the plays! Enjoy!
Check the opera language before going, they only translate it to Swedish. You can enjoy a Swedish Opera too, you'll understand the story
May I admit I'm asleep during the opera but the place and atmosphere are wonderful
Great experience when I was at my first opera. Saw Aida
A national theater too small for the great country that is Sweden
The atmosphere in the room takes one back a few hundred years.
The legroom is the only thing I have to remark on, which on the balcony is not quite enough for someone who is 185cm +
An incredibly dynamic and nicely choreographed general rehearsal, full of joy of life and spring feelings in February, thanks for the whole ballet! And then I finally got to dance myself on the big stage .. hah!
Classic repertoire that rarely offers surprises. No further acoustics in the room and the sound varies from the extremes stifled to screaming with some good places in the middle of the parquet and on the first balcony, but otherwise it is uneven.
On a short visit to Stockholm I managed to go to one the lunch concerts: An enjoyable light meal and a program of songs by Karol Szymanowski (1882-1937) and Nikolaj Rimskij-Korsakov (1844-1908), sung by Soprano Maria Matyazova Milder and More
Decided to treat myself to front row tickets to the Nutcracker. Great decision! Really enjoyed the view and the performance. Definitely would like to come for an opera in the future. Beautiful theatre!
Many seats that should definitely not be sold at all as a public space ....
Lovely atmosphere historical wingers want to stay here after all
An amazing cultural temple. Different scenes for different musical activities and that cream on the cake, the amazing and impressive main lounge. You lose your breath!
Impressive building with very good program. Always just as nice to come here and see a performance.
The Royal Opera in Stockholm 250 year-old opera house with admiring interior and it Situated right across the bridge towards old town.
The orchestra and the performers are usually of high quality. Worth visiting for both performances as well as enjoying the house in itself.
The restaurant was a bit pricey but the food was not that great.
Slightly cramped seats on 2nd and 3rd balconies. Otherwise fantastic.
Very nicely painted o ornate in the ceiling, nice lights in the ceiling, but far too many people in such a small room .... packed on the dance floor, but still a nice place!
The auditorium is a cocoon of red velvet and wood, a delicately painted ceiling and a magnificent chandelier. The best view of the stage and live orchestra can be had from the balconies.
Did not have a chance to watch any show. The building looks magnificent. Situated right across the bridge towards old town. A must visit before visiting old town. The view on the bridge is beautiful.
The Person Who Does The Tour In English Is The Best Great Staff Great Places To See The Insides Of The Insides Shows Also Go There. But Sadly I Have Not Seen One In Their! Ready To Explore Kill Time Whatever You'll Have At least A Giggle
