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

An old summer house is to be sold, and with it memories that have long been buried in the marshes of Norrland are brought to life. Night Hunter draws us into a gripping family drama where we meet different people in the shadow of an unimaginable tragedy.

Through four characters – the son as a young man, the son as an adult, the grandfather and the elk hunter who once found the dead man out in the bog – the film explores Night Hunter different ways of experiencing, avoiding or approaching life's darkest moments. In the search, repressed feelings of guilt and anger emerge, but also a complex love between father and son.

The Folk Opera House will be the arena for Antonio Vivaldi's baroque opera Olympiaden. Here, athletes and artistic souls compete side by side in a pulsating and sporty drama of confusion – under the influence of big politics, sensual confusion and heartbreaking trials of friendship . Olympiaden is directed by the all-round artist Charlotte Engelkes.

In Olympiad , forbidden love, mistaken identities, murder plots and missing siblings come together in a musical showdown filled with adrenaline and movement. The plot revolves around the prince of Crete, Licida" class="css-u850">Licida, a charming but untrained rookie in the arena of love and sport. In order to win the heart of Princess Aristea, he is faced with the match of his life. He asks his well-trained friend, Megacle, to compete in his place. Megacle accepts the sporting challenge, unaware that he is about to compete away his own fiancé. At the same time, Licida's neglected fiancée Argena appears and things heat up both in the competition arena and in her emotional life. But anything can happen and everything can turn around - it is only in the final that it is decided.

The Olympiad

A thriller-like opera set in a time of political unrest and war. At the center are the opera singer Floria Tosca, her lover, the artist and freedom fighter Mario Cavaradossi, and the cruel, all-powerful police chief Scarpia. A triangle drama created for Stubø's minimalist and deeply personal direction.

On the intimate stage of the Folkoperan, Tosca becomes a gripping, intimate study of passion, abuse of power, rebellion and terror. A deadly drama with the opera singer Tosca and Puccini's incomparably beautiful music at its center.

Tosca

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.
