Based on Lars von Trier's blockbuster film, created by composer Mikael Karlsson and librettist Royce Vavrek. With great international voices in the lead roles, a complex and innovative soundscape is presented with beats, synthesizers and surround sound in symbiosis with the acoustic universe of the Royal Swedish Orchestra. A genre-defying opera experience that, despite its serious undertone, also has elements of humour and consolation. Melancholia will have its world premiere on the Royal Swedish Opera's Main Stage on October 21, at 15.00.

Opera and ballet costumes will get a second life in the hands of Louise Xin, designer and fashion activist working for a sustainable fashion industry. Together with fashion students from the Swedish School of Textiles in Borås, unique couture garments are now being created from the Royal Swedish Opera's costume archive, which will be sold in the autumn to benefit the Young Opera Fund, the Royal Swedish Opera's activities for children and young people.

The 250th anniversary celebrations continue at the Royal Swedish Opera! We are looking forward to a magnificent autumn season with strong emotions, great voices and, not least, the world premiere of the opera Melancholia by Mikael Karlsson, the premiere of the ballet Le Corsaire and the opera Don Giovanni as well as a number of long-awaited revivals. Tickets for all autumn performances are available now. In September we will also release the tickets for the party of the Century: the New Year's Masquerade in the Opera House.

This year's Christmas greeting from the Crown Princess and her family was recorded at the Royal Swedish Opera. Before a performance of the ballet Cinderella, Princess Estelle and Prince Oscar got to know the Opera House and meet dancers and costume designers, both on stage and behind the scenes.

Ballet Director Nicolas Le Riche has agreed to stay another two years as Artistic director of the Royal Swedish Ballet. The extended contract lasts until the summer of 2025.

The National Stage of Opera and Ballet celebrates its 250th anniversary in grand. On January 18, an Anniversary Gala is held and the year is then rounded off on New Year's Eve with a large Masquerade Ball. In between, a repertoire that unites past, present and future and, among many other things, houses the world premiere of Melancholia – a new operatic interpretation of Lars Von Trier's film. Tickets for SEK 250 will be available for productions throughout the anniversary year and this summer the audience will be invited to a record-breaking sale of costumes.

Ten amazing young talents join the Royal Swedish Ballet this season. The dancers come from all over the world to Stockholm and the ballet company, which next year will celebrate 250 years.
