The production, based on George Orwell's novel, has been postponed by up to two years, writes Göteborgs-Posten.
The reason is that an extensive renovation of the stage machinery is taking time.
Time is being eaten up when we do not have time to rehearse for the next production. Then we were informed today that we are moving forward "1984" and the ambition is to stage it within two years, opera press spokesperson Marie Branner tells GP.
Anyone who has purchased tickets for any of the six cancelled performances can get their money back, according to the opera.
Last week it was announced that the premiere of the musical "Wicked" would also be postponed.
