Twelfth Night Concert and Ball at Göteborg Opera, Main Stage

We wish you a warm welcome to The Göteborg Opera ball evening! Last season, a throng of around a thousand found their way to this enormously popular event that includes everything you could wish for in a real winter festival. The welcome drink in the foyer is followed by a magnificent concert featuring invited star vocalists and The Göteborg Opera Orchestra in party mood.

In the interval, the Main Stage is transformed into a glittering ballroom, ready for the intoxicating dancing. The ball is opened by The Göteborg Opera’s Viennese orchestra, followed by a big band and vocalist.

Between dances, you can wander round and rejoice at the people in their party attire, wearing everything from the finest evening gowns to the coolest miniskirts, caftans, folk costumes or sophisticated vintage party dresses, kilts or dark lounge suits.

You can pre-book a three-course meal in The Opera Bar and The Göteborg Opera Restaurant. In our cafés, which like the Restaurant are open all evening, you can buy everything from fine drinks to snack meals, as well as coffee and pastries.
