Tips & Advice

  • Buy tickets only through folkoperan.se, Folkoperan's phone booking or its box office, since those are the only places Folkoperan sells its tickets.
  • Buy online at any hour with no service fee, then show the emailed ticket on your phone or print it out.
  • If your plans change, exchange your ticket by the day before the show, because bought tickets can't be refunded.
  • Bring children only if they follow spoken English well, since the show is in English without Swedish subtitles and is recommended from age 7.
  • Arrive with time to spare, because the box office opens only one hour before guest performances like this one.
