Activities

European Opera Day, 5 May

For the twelfth year in a row, opera houses all over Europe are laying on exciting activities with that little bit extra to celebrate the art of opera. This year’s theme is Where the Past Meets the Future. The Göteborg Opera will be celebrating with an opera marathon, special effects, open rehearsals and guided tours. We look forward to seeing you!

Regarding our collaboration with director Peter Konwitschny

In connection to the preparatory rehearsal of the opera Boris Godunov on Tuesday, April 17, there was a conflict between Peter Konwitschny and co-workers around the stage. Konwitschny acted in a manner which contravenes with the Göteborg Opera's view regarding how we work together and how to express oneself among co-workers. The following day, the project management had a conversation with him, and the management at the Göteborg Opera chose to terminate the cooperation.

”Boris Godunov på Göteborgsoperan är magnifik.” skriver Bo Löfvendahl i sin recension i Svenska Dagbladet. Föreställningen har efter premiären lovordats såväl för de starka sånginsatserna som för regin. På onsdag kan du se föreställning två!
