The Royal Swedish Opera in Stockholm, known in Swedish as the Kungliga Operan, dates back to the period of Gustaf III in the 18th century, but now resides in a house inaugurated in 1898. It has a comparatively narrow stage, designed to enable continuity with an earlier house. There is no side stage, so every change of built scenery has to be made on stage, sometimes prolonging the intervals. The theatre has a repertoire system with alternating operas, sharing the house with ballet. The same orchestra, Kungliga Hovkapellet, is used for both opera and ballet, though the latter sometimes uses recorded music.
