With a history of more than three centuries, the Kungliga Teatern (Royal Theatre) or Royal Swedish Opera is the national stage for opera in Sweden. This opera season starts early in Stockholm, with seventeen productions to go onstage from August 23, 2008, to June 13, 2009. Swedes love Wagner, thus the Kungliga Teatern presents five Wagnerian operas this season (Tristan und Isolde, Das Rheingold, Die Walküre, Siegfried and Götterdämmerung). Verdi is celebrated with three operas (Il Trovatore, Traviata and Macbeth) and so is Puccini (Bohème, Tosca and Manon Lescaut), while there are two Rossini operas in the programme (Cinderella and The Barber of Seville).

Alongside the opera programme, seven dance performances are on schedule for this season, featuring mostly Swedish choreographers.
