The Swedish people enjoy going out in the evening and spending money for culture. When the culture turns out to be Swedish-based (ABBA) so much the better. If you are interested in torturing yourself in a rather uncomfortable seat, in a place with about as much romance is a jail, and pounding your brain with extremely loud music, and having... More

I asked for the cheapest ticket and paid about £11.00. Then decided to get the meal deal; dinner and ticket for about £30.00 - very good value - a lovely prawn salad with a glass of wine. The opera was CHESS in Swedish. The theatre was packed and the atmosphere was fantastic. I had a seat quite high up but... More

saw a good show of "Chess", - but it was still a bit annoying to not get a word of the dialogues (it was all in swedish) - of course, i knew that before. - actors and singers of good quality! The opera house is easy to book, - all rows are perfectly shaped to have an excellent view!

Despite that the opera is in a relatively small city it holds a opera house that is close to world class. They put on great performances of classic and more modern operas, great ballet performances and the only weakness is the musicals which by the way rarely are vebrant enough in Sweden. But especially the operas are great, I saw... More

The opera house is quite nice. The design is interesting and the atmosphere is informal. The quality of the opera and the ballet is often quite good. It´s not that difficult to get tickets. Although, make sure that you get seats with a good view.

Although I did not enjoy the performance of "Hemland," the Opera facility itself is spectacular and worth sitting through a lukewarm performance.

Visiting the opera is often worth it's price, the staff is very service minded, both at closets and in bars. There are a number of hosts roaming the floor, ready for questions and guiding. All jackets, coats etc. must be stored in closets for a small fee. Even if there are a number of such closets, the queues can be... More

Poor sound and acting!! Bad translation to Swedish. I have seen it several times both in english and swedish and this was not a good production at all compared to the others.

I am a great fan of opera and I must say: I have never been disappointed after having been to the Göteborgsoperan! Always world class singers and what's more: very interesting stagings and decor.
