Summer 2025: Swedish Opera på Skäret to stage Turandot

It has been eight years since Opera på Skäret last produced an opera by Giacomo Puccini. Now, it's finally time again. In the summer of 2025, the opera Turandot will be staged in the large timber warehouse by the shores of Lake Ljusnaren.

After this past summer’s success with Vincenzo Bellini’s opera Norma, the exciting work of planning and recruiting the production team and soloists now begins. It has already been confirmed that the fantastic Swedish Chamber Orchestra will take its place in the orchestra pit at Opera på Skäret next summer. The production team will be announced later this fall, and the soloists will be engaged, as usual, following an open audition at the end of November.

- Interest in our auditions has been overwhelming in recent years, with between 500-600 applicants from all over the world. I’m already looking forward to the scheduled audition days in November, says Alexander Niclasson, Artistic Director of Opera på Skäret.

The opera Turandot was initially planned to be performed in 2020 and then in 2021, but it was cancelled due to the pandemic.

- It will, of course, be very exciting to finally be able to stage this beloved opera for our audience, says Alexander Niclasson.
