The Royal Swedish Opera is cancelling performances - the roof needs to be checked

"The measure is being taken proactively," Jenny Mattsson, press officer for the Royal Swedish Opera, writes in a press release.

The Royal Swedish Opera at Kungsträdgården is in dire need of renovation. Last year, plans were drawn up for an extensive refurbishment and reconstruction of the premises, which is expected to cost 3.5 billion kronor and take five to six years to complete.
