Confidencen Opera & Music Festival
Confidencen Opera & Music Festival takes place Jul 30 - Aug 16, 2026 (opera run; concerts across the summer) in Stockholm, Sweden. The dress code is No formal code, but most guests dress up smart for the opera; jacket or cocktail dress fits right in. Typical cost ranges from 150 to 400 EUR per person.
Summer opera and concerts inside Confidencen, Sweden's oldest rococo theatre, on the grounds of the royal Ulriksdal Palace just outside Stockholm. The intimate 18th-century auditorium hosts a baroque-leaning season - the 2026 opera run centres on Francesca Caccini - with garden dining before curtain. A jewel-box period experience largely unknown outside Sweden.

How to attend
Book tickets directly at confidencen.se; the 2026 opera run plays Jul 30 - Aug 16 with a concert series across the summer. Ulriksdal is a short bus or taxi ride north of central Stockholm near Solna. Reserve the pre-performance dinner when you book, and move early - the tiny auditorium sells out.
Insider tip
Book the pre-performance dinner in the palace grounds - arriving early to stroll Ulriksdal's gardens with a glass in hand is half the experience.
