In the history of the Royal Swedish Orchestra, 2026 is a very special year. It is the year when the orchestra celebrates its fifth centenary. Celebrations will be held throughout the year – in spring we will be able to enjoy six magnificent concerts on the Royal Swedish Opera main stage. Don’t miss the opportunity to hear Beethoven’s ninth symphony under the baton of Musical Director and Royal Court Kapellmeister Alan Gilbert!
On 17 and 18 January the Royal Swedish Orchestra, the Royal Swedish Chorus and soloists will be performing one of the great musical masterpieces: Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9, the »Choral Symphony«. The concert includes a brand new piece by member of the Royal Swedish Orchestra Torbjörn Helander. Later this spring there will be a concert with songs and orchestral music by Richard Strauss; a matinee concert for the whole family with the concept »500 years in 50 minutes; and an extended version of the latter concert, intended for an adult audience.
