No.8 of Best Things to Do in StockholmPerformances
The Royal Opera House in Stockholm was built in 1890, it is a palace of classical comprehensive art. In 1773, the "theater king" Gustav III of Sweden founded the theater, and the performances here are all foreign touring groups. Since the court hall and the existing theatre were too small, Gustav ordered the construction of a new theatre. The new theatre was inaugurated in 1782 for performances and a large masquerade ball, and 10 years later, Gustave was stabbed to death here in a masquerade, an event that was later used by Ober and Verdi material. The theatre, which could seat only 948 spectators, was gradually forgotten after Gustave's death. In 1898, a new theatre in the Renaissance style was inaugurated, with a total of 1170 seats. In the 20th century, a large number of singers with international influence emerged in Sweden. The emergence of these first-class singers made the country that cultivated high-level singers and this opera house, which was not very good before, become famous. Today, there are still occasional performances by ballet and opera artists from Sweden and abroad.
