Folkoperan

Folkoperan is an opera house in Stockholm that stages performances in Swedish and occupies a location on Hornsgatan 72 in the city center. The venue features multiple performance spaces and includes a restaurant and bar where visitors can spend time before or after shows.

The house was founded in 1976 as an independent music and theater group and gradually developed into a significant cultural institution. Since 1993 it has received support from cultural councils and established itself as a permanent fixture in Swedish opera.

The house shapes cultural life by staging operas in Swedish language that connect traditional works with modern concerns. This approach brings artists and audiences together in a space where contemporary artistic expression takes place.

Access to the house is convenient using public transportation thanks to its central location with good connections. Before visiting, it is worth checking ahead what works are being performed since the program varies throughout the year.

The house operates one of Sweden's first talent development programs specifically for young opera singers. Through regular performances and training opportunities, emerging artists gain hands-on stage experience here.
