OperaVännerna, The Friends of the Royal Swedish Opera in Stockholm, was founded in 1980 as an independent association of audience members. Its aim is to “increase members´ benefit from their interest in opera and to create new opera enthusiasts”.
Artist meetings, a monthly magazine (published eight times a year) and visits to other opera houses inside and outside Sweden are now our major activities.
On the day of an opera performance members receive a 50% discount on any remaining ticket – particularly valuable as the Opera recently abolished other discounts.
Our monthly magazine contains articles about current productions and informs about our activities: meetings with artists and events focused on specific works or singers, group visits to performances etc.
We support artists and others through scholarships, and we attract new friends to opera.
For information on current fees and activities etc. please refer to our Swedish home page www.operavannerna.com or send an e-mail to ov@operavannerna.com
