If you are lucky enough to be in Stockholm during the Culture Festival in August, you might be able to catch a free open air presentation of the Royal Opera at Gustav Adolfs torg.
The Royal Opera was founded by Gustav III in 1792 as the national stage for Opera and Ballet. Did you know that almost 600 people work at the Royal Opera today!?
The prices is what's good here! Cheap tickets (half price for students). Friendly staff. Cleantoilets. You don't have to use the cloakroom even if they tell you when they check your ticket. No ushers
This is the second Royal Opera House to stand in this spot, to know what the previous one looked like, look across the square at Arvsfurstens Palats (Department of Foreign Ministry).
Здание очень красивое в отличном состоянии, как снаружи, так и внутри. Опера Фигаро на итальянском не понравилась, по сравнению с российской, тональность слабая, в постановке есть эротические сцены.
