Folkoperan

The classicA Christmas Carolmake a fond return visit toThe Folk OperaThe show includes a number of well-known Christmas songs and is traditionally performed by a British ensemble.

"The Christmas Carol"A Christmas Carol" class="css-u850" data-mark-multiple="true">A Christmas Carol” is one of Charles Dickens’ most popular stories, and 200 years after Dickens’s birth, interest in his humorous yet serious tale of bitter Ebenezer Scrooge remains high. During the 1980s and 1990s, the performance was staged every Christmas in Stockholm, and was then brought back to life when Pernilla Isedal staged the classic story under new direction. Pernilla’s version of “A Christmas Carol” is a genuine musical theatre version with British actors and singers in the roles, as well as several child and youth actors. The performance, which has become an established Christmas tradition, proves year after year that the over 170-year-old tale is as relevant today as it was in the 19th century. 

A Christmas Carol

The Folk Opera

In Lilla Bokoperan we are inspired by newly published Swedish children's literature and pick out related pieces from music history. In the middle days we read Barrbarnet by Klara Bartilsson, a story that is both poignant and heartwarming.

One windy Sunday morning there's a knock on the door and a little pinecone child steps in. She pines like an old Christmas tree and is completely silent. But Mickey, Britten and Jones give her jam sandwiches and let her stay. Who is she really?

New Year's Gala 2025

Philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche's meeting with Richard Wagner is the start of an intense friendship and an equally dramatic break. In the newly written musical theatre performance by Joakim Sten, we meet actor Jonas Karlsson who, while hiking on a Swiss alpine peak, reevaluates a musical genius.

The philosopher Nietzsche based his entire thinking on music. When he met the great composer Richard Wagner as a young man, he was overwhelmed – both artistically and intellectually. Wagner befriended him, had him write lyrics that praised Wagner himself, and shaped him into his ideological disciple. But as Nietzsche began to see through his mentor and despise his growing anti-Semitism, the questions grew: Where will this lead? What kind of world will this create?

Nietzsche versus Wagner

In the opera cabaret Jag är Ulla Winblad, the 18th century's most legendary and celebrated Stockholm woman gets to play the lead role in her own story. Behind the Folkoperan" class="css-u850">Folkoperan's anniversary performance is the super trio Klas Östergren, who wrote the libretto, the composer Andrea Tarrodi and the director Nora Nilsson. On stage, the actors Björn Kjellman and Hanna Dorsin meet with the Folkoperan's soloists and orchestra.

When an elderly Bellman (Björn Kjellman) seeks out “Ulla” (Hanna Dorsin) to say goodbye and perhaps reconcile, we are thrown back to the days of youth and the brutal 18th century Stockholm. Among bustling taverns and stinking alleys, the young beauty Maria Kristina Kjellström “Maja-Stina” (Tessan-Maria Lehmussaari) and the young star Carl Michael Bellman (Wiktor Sundqvist) meet.

I am Ulla Winblad.

In an unequal and powerful world, a struggle is being waged – a struggle for youthful liberation with hope and love as weapons. When Parisian director Stéphane Braunschweig takesThe Magic FluteIn our time, actor Anton Lundqvist and young opera singers such as Endre Aaberge Dahl, Clarice Granado and Lovisa Huledal meet on stage.
