Opera and Storytelling at Wermland Opera

The critically acclaimed Wermland Opera, with its own orchestra Sinfonietta, attracts audiences from afar to its performances. The productions are based on three concepts – opera, musical, and concert. The main stage is located by the banks of the Klarälven River in Karlstad Theater, while the smaller stage is housed in an old spinning mill on Älvgatan a short distance away. The modern conference center Karlstad CCC is also the home stage for Värmland Sinfonietta’s concerts.

Västanå Musik & Teater – Sweden’s Largest Summer Theater

Near the western shore of Fryken, just south of Sunne, lies the Berättarladan, which is the home stage of Västanå Musik & Teater. It is Sweden’s largest summer theater, with seating for about 500 spectators. Colorful performances inspired by folk music, dance, and storytelling are the theater group’s hallmark. Year after year, the barn is filled – it’s important to get tickets early.
