About Malmö Opera
Entertainment, art and fine dining
Malmö Opera presents the whole range of music theatre with main emphasis on opera and musical. We perform the great opera classics, musicals, contemporary musical drama, concerts and dance, always meeting the highest international standards of quality.
Operaverkstan, our department for children and young adults, produces high quality performances for children aged 3-19 with focus on contemporary works and subject matters. Operaverkstan also introduces classic opera to its audience.
The building that houses Malmö Opera was built during the Second World War and inaugurated in 1944. The main auditorium holds an audience of 1511 and the stage is one of the largest in Europe. With it, renowned architect Sigurd Lewerentz, together with colleagues Erik Lallerstedt and David Helldén, created one of the masterpieces of functionalist architecture. The foyer is considered of particular beauty, with its open spaces and sweeping marble staircases, and it is adorned with a number of works of art by artists such as Carl Milles and Isaac Grünewald. The building was listed with the National Trust in connection with the theatre’s 50th jubilee in 1994.
The opera house offers a range of casual as well as fine dining - a three-course dinner, a quick meal before or after the show or an indulgence during an interval.
Please note that Malmö Opera is cash free. We accept all major credit cards.
