New Restaurant Owner

Catering in the spring of 2025
In the spring, Norrlandsoperan will once again have a restaurant in the building. Right now, a procurement process is underway for a new restaurateur who will also be in charge of the intermission service at our concerts and performances. We are really looking forward to being able to present who will be our new restaurateur at Norrlandsoperan.

Refreshments in connection with the performance
During March, the restaurateur Nova’s restaurant opens in connection with performances and concerts. You can hereby buy coffee and other goodies one hour before the start and during the intermission. The menu includes various drinks, homemade pastries and homemade pies, sandwiches and sandwich cake (the selection may vary). While waiting for a serving permit, non-alcoholic beverages are served.

Pre-order intermission refreshments
From April, you can also pre-order your intermission refreshments to avoid queues and secure a reserved table where your order is served. More information will be available to those who have bought tickets for events in April and onwards.

Norrlandsoperan has been searching for a new restaurant operator for some time, and we look forward to introducing our new restaurant operator later this spring. The restaurant will open in early summer, offering food, drinks, and a great atmosphere. The opera house will once again become a vibrant and welcoming place.

A warm welcome!
