9 Best Performing Arts in Stockholm, Sweden
Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Stockholm right now.
Stockholm's theater and opera season runs from September through May. Both Dramaten (the National Theater) and Operan (the Royal Opera) shut down in the summer months. When it comes to popular music, big-name international acts frequently come to Stockholm in summer while on their European tours. Artists of this type always play at one of the Stockholm Globe Arenas south of the city center.
The Stockholm Visitors Board website www.visitstockholm.com) lists the month's events in both English and Swedish.

Musikaliska
Norrmalm
This historic concert hall on the quay at Nybroviken hosts a wide variety of international classical music, jazz, and musical fusion concerts.
Operan
Norrmalm
One of Stockholm's artistic and literary waterholes since the first Operakällaren restaurant opened on the site in 1787, the Royal Opera House is almost more famous for its restaurants and bars than for its opera and ballet productions. But that doesn't mean an evening performance should be missed. The current baroque building dates from 1898, replacing an earlier opera house where, in 1792, King Gustav III was assassinated at a masquerade ball (the inspiration for Verdi's opera A Masked Ball). There's not a bad seat in the house. For about SKr 110 you can even get a listening-only seat (with no view). Guided tours of the opera house are offered on Saturdays at 1 pm (more frequently in summer).
Ticnet
Tickets for sports events, concerts, theater performances, and more are available through Ticnet, the Swedish branch of Ticketmaster.
Zita
Norrmalm
One of Stockholm's oldest movie houses, this three-screen theater shows international art-house films. A small restaurant is in the back.
