Concert. Welcome to our festive concert and ball on the Main Stage as we get 2014 off to a great start!

Experience an unforgettable Twelfth Night at The Göteborg Opera! We will be filling this magical winter's evening with treats for the eyes, ears and palate.
The evening will be introduced with a welcome drink in the foyer before the tailor-made concert with The Göteborg Opera Orchestra and vocal soloists. During the intermission, the Main Stage will be transformed into a beautifully decorated ballroom, where you will be invited to dance to The Göteborg Opera Viennese Orchestra and Big Band. Tail coat, dinner jacket, little black dress, long dress, kilt – dress in whatever you think looks good! You can make your own choice of whether to top off the evening with something delicious from our menus. Three-course meals can be pre-booked in the Restaurant and Opera Bar. In our cafés which, like the restaurant, are open all evening, you can buy everything from great drinks to snacks and coffee with pastries.
Twelfth Night Concert and Ball is attended by a wide range of people. Some people know all of the steps in the dance while others gradually discover the movements. Ahead of Twelfth Night, we are offering a number of lessons in the foxtrot and Viennese waltz. This will give you the opportunity to learn the basics or to brush up on your skills.
