The current Royal Swedish Opera house in Stockholm was designed by Axel Johan Anderberg, as the infobox also says. The article names no client for it, though King Gustav III commissioned the original 1782 house. The infobox gives no dates. The text says the 1892 demolition of the old house was followed by a new opera finished seven years later, so about 1899, and gives no start date.
The article calls the style neo-classical. It mentions a gold foyer called the Guldfoajén, a marble grand staircase and gold lettering above the middle arch. The three-tiered auditorium seats 1,200.
Oscar II inaugurated it with Berwald's Estrella de Soria. It is the national stage for opera and ballet, and the Royal Box is reserved for the royal family. Michael Cavanagh died in March 2024, and Tobias Theorell becomes artistic director in 2025. The article gives no hours or ticket details.
