Göteborgsoperan (Gothenburg Opera House)
This elegant modern opera house was opened by the Swedish king in 1994, and was immediately hailed as one of the most exciting major pieces of public architecture in Sweden. Overlooking the grimy industrial harbor landscape, with a big-windowed red-and-orange-trimmed facade, it features some of the finest theater, opera, operettas, musicals, and ballet performances in Sweden. There are also five bars and a cafe in the lobby. The main entrance (on Östra Hamngatan) leads to a foyer with a view of the harbor; here you'll find the box office and cloakroom. Big productions can be staged on a full scale. You'll have to check to see what performances are scheduled at the time of your visit.
