Göteborgsoperan

Göteborgsoperan is an opera house. That is located in Gothenburg, Sweden, at Lilla Bommen near the Göta älv river. It opened in 1994 and is known for its modern architecture, designed by Jan Izikowitz, which draws inspiration from both the opera world and the nearby harbor. The building is 160 meters long, 85 meters wide, and 32 meters high, with a total floor area of 28,700 square meters. Some curiosities about Göteborgsoperan: The opera house was inaugurated over three nights, with Swedish royalty attending the official gala. - It hosts a variety of performances, including opera, musicals, ballet, and concerts. The main stage features advanced technology, including a 14-meter rotating stage and movable platforms The opera house has a Svanenmärkt (eco-labeled) restaurant, offering meals 🙂🇸🇪

One of the most famous places in Gothenburg. I feeled bad with perfume people hade, then I went home earlier.

We got tickets for the top floor, and honestly, the view wasn’t great — especially if you’re sitting on the sides. You’ll miss parts of the performance for sure. So choose your seats carefully! After entering the building, there are several cloakrooms where you can leave your coat and belongings. There are also storage areas on different floors where you can hang your jacket and grab a drink while you wait. It’s a nice touch that makes the whole experience more relaxed.

Probably the best opera house in Gothenburg? The architecture is interesting, harmoniously blending with the beautiful riverfront. Every performance is a mesmerizing experience, from opera and ballet to musicals and concerts. The talented cast and crew bring stories to life with passion and skill. Don't miss their exquisite restaurant, which offers a delightful dining experience with a stunning view. The menu is crafted using both local and international dishes prepared with great ingredients. It's the perfect place to enjoy a meal before a show, adding an extra layer of magic to your evening.

The most democratic opera house I have been to so far: affordable & accessible with even musicals in the program. Its dance company has an impressive repertoire and is worth visiting for yearly world premiere. The visibility is great overall with comfortable seats made of velvet and leather (?). Drinks and food are served in the reception hall with the view over the port. It's only a 10-minute walk from the Central Station.

One tourist attraction site you should visit in Gothenburg. A calm and serene environment where one can sit and enjoy the sea view. I like how the roof of the building is designed to look like a ship’s hull.

For the first time came to Gothenburg, went to get acquainted with the announcements and learn how to buy tickets, perhaps to visit the restaurant, but the employee of the theater forbade to use the toilet, she stood between me and the door to the toilet and pointed to the exit, because I did not have a ticket to the performance. Is this normal? Does the theater really have a rule that only the person with a ticket can use the restroom? You can't just walk around there and familiarize yourself with the playbill?

A glorious building, an amazing location with views across the harbour, friendly, helpful staff, excellent food, and wonderful music and singing in an imaginative production of Peter Grimes by Benjamin Britten. My first visit to Gothenburg (I went specially for the opera) but I hope not my last
