Malmö Opera och Musikteater

Malmö Opera och Musikteater is a performance venue in Innerstaden with a large main stage set within functionalist architecture. The building contains multiple performance spaces of different sizes designed for various types of productions.

The building was created in the 1930s and 1940s under the direction of three architects as a modern theater structure. Its development took place during a period when Scandinavia was adopting functionalist design principles for public buildings.

The foyer displays works by Swedish artists that visitors encounter when entering, shaping the first impression of the space. These pieces create a welcoming atmosphere before the performances begin.

The building features flexible interior spaces where wall arrangements can be adapted depending on the type of performance. Visitors should note that layout options may vary depending on the event.

The auditorium can be transformed into four different configurations using retractable walls, allowing the room shape to be quickly adjusted based on needs. This technical solution was innovative at the time of opening and remains a key aspect of operational flexibility.
