Who makes up the Norrlandsoperan?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Norrlandsoperan began operations in 1974 as a small and bold opera ensemble, driven by a desire to create the performing arts of tomorrow. Today, Norrlandsoperan is an opera house featuring a symphony orchestra, opera, dance, music, art, as well as workshops and studios.

For 50 years, the Norrlandsoperan has been producing cultural experiences for Ume\u00e5, the region, and audiences nationwide and internationally, drawing just over 120,000 spectators annually. From spectacular opera productions to minimalist dance performances and everything in between.

There are many, and many different kinds of people, who contribute to Ume\u00e5 and V\u00e4sterbotten having northern Sweden\u2019s most important and largest performing arts center. Everyone behind the scenes, the performers on stage\u2014but also the audience in front. Everyone is involved; everyone is needed. The feeling that this is the moment it\u2019s happening and that I\u2019m a part of it is shared by everyone.

Together, we are the Norrlands Opera.

Right here, right now. Live. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
