Rigoletto

Rigoletto, Movie theater in Norrmalm, Stockholm, Sweden.

Rigoletto is a cinema in the Kungshuset building at Kungsgatan 16 in central Stockholm, with interiors designed by Rolf Engströmer. After a renovation completed on 27 April 2012, it has 937 seats across four screens; Screen 1, with 756 seats, is Sweden's largest cinema auditorium. The foyer includes a bistro, and the former balcony has been converted into a VIP lounge with 187 seats.

Rigoletto opened on 17 March 1939 as the twelfth cinema of the Ri-Teatrarna chain, with 1,201 seats and a premiere of Den stora valsen. On 18 December 1953 it became Sweden's first cinema to screen CinemaScope with stereo sound, showing Den purpurröda manteln. New projectors and sound equipment for 70 mm film were installed for Patton on 26 March 1970.

The name Rigoletto comes from Verdi's opera, but the sources give no reason for the choice. What visitors can see today is the result of the 2011–2012 renovation: a bistro built into the foyer and the former balcony remade as a VIP balcony with 187 seats and a lounge licensed for wine and beer. The City Museum and the Beauty Council criticised the rebuild.

The cinema sits in the central Norrmalm district and is easy to reach on foot or by public transit. Anyone wanting to see the interior should simply attend a screening, as the building is only accessible during opening hours.

Rigoletto was Sweden's first cinema to show CinemaScope and stereo sound, with the premiere of The Robe on 18 December 1953. An early optical stereo system had already been demonstrated there by Klangfilm in 1939. After the 2011–2012 renovation, its main auditorium, with 756 seats, was Sweden's largest cinema hall.
