		The Royal Swedish Opera, or Kungliga Operan, is the national stage for opera in Sweden.
		The first opera house was inagurated in 1780s and served for a century before being replaced at the end of the 19th century.
		The old opera served for another century, when it was demolished in 1892 to give way to construction of a new Opera by Axel Johan Anderberg, finished seven years later and inaugurated by king Oscar II.

	An Introduction to the Royal Swedish Ballet
		He decreed that all opera was to be sung in Swedish, and, after dismissing the Francophone opera company at the Bollhuset, he began bringing important European composers to create operas with Swedish poets.
		Construction of a new stage began in 1775, and the Royal Opera House was officially opened on September 30, 1782.
		Swedish ballet went through a more quiet period in the 1800's, and its fame was eclipsed by other European companies and styles.

		Stefan Johansson, Head of Dramaturgy of The Royal Swedish Opera, and one of the initiators of the series, had strange stories to tell about how these rare recordings actually were retrieved, in their raw state on reel-to-reel tapes.
		For these house recordings, semi-professional or not professional at all, the mike was sometimes hung in the wings, and a peculiar muffling of the sound at the end of pieces, when applause begins, is explained by the curtain moving shut in front of the mike, blocking the sound.

		Though he is the most important Swedish composer after Berwald, his early operas were not successful, and this lack of success turned him away from furthur opera composition.
		These elements are found in his third opera, Tintomara, a work commissioned to celebrate the bicentenary of the Stockholm Royal Opera and performed by them in 1973.
		Both operas were successful, yet at the age of 41 Nielsen wrote no more, composing instead the symphonies he is so famous for.

		The Naxos library of historic opera recordings, mostly taken from ancient radio broadcasts, is now second to none.
		Like Wozzeck, this comes from the Royal Swedish Opera in Stockholm, a recording made in collaboration with Swedish Radio and edited together from three live performances.
		As usual with this opera - of which Verdi devised four alternative versions, four-act and five-act - the text is an amalgam, mainly drawn from the 1886 Modena version with a shortened Fontainebleau scene preceding the final revision of the other four acts, and with elements of the original Paris version brought in.

		The two royal stages are today national theatres: the Royal Opera performs music theatre and ballet and the Royal Dramatic theatre performs spoken drama on six stages, housing many of the well-known Swedish actors and directors.
		The Royal Opera is the major lyric theatre but there are also opera companies/music theatres in Gothenburg, Malmoe, Umeå (Norrlandsoperan), Karlstad as well as the Folkopera in Stockholm and several independent companies without premanent troupes.
		Swedish theatre in our century has been manifold and easy available and these remain the main characteristics: both of them a result of a consciously implemented cultural policy.

	The Dances: Les Ballet Suedois
		Ballets Suedois innovative works were a fusion of the long-standing theatrical ballet practiced at the Royal Swedish Ballet and the new expressionism and fluidity of early 20th century choreographers like Michel Fokine.
		The story is of a young Swedish man arriving in New York and his encounters with Hollywood and American archetypes of all sorts, a role that pays homage to the Charlie Chaplin character in the 1917 film The Immigrant.
		Separate from the Ballet Suedois programme is the American premiere of another ballet for which the Royal Swedish Ballet is rightly famous.

		Chorus & Orchestra of the Royal Swedish Opera, Stockholm
		Any opera company that takes on Don Carlos, which stands among Verdi's greatest, grandest, and most ambitious operas, deserves some applause, and this Royal Swedish Opera production, taped in December of 1999 and January of 2000, is a valiant effort.
		Catalan conductor Alberto Hold-Garrido has a fine feel for the score, with the intimate moments nicely paced and the big, public ones suitably grand, although his refusal to underline some of the more cruel moments--the Philip/Posa and Philip/Inquisitor confrontations, for instance--is a mistake.

		Looking at the current CD catalogue there is a proliferation of orchestral excerpts from Wagner operas, particularly The Ring, and also Overtures and Preludes, often under the baton of distinguished conductors.
		Given the quality of music Wagner composed for his choruses, and the protagonist role they play in the operas, this dearth is surprising.
		They claim the Royal Swedish Opera has an outstanding Wagner tradition, and ‘has nurtured so many great Wagner artists’.
