About Wermland Opera

We offer varied work as a musician in the Wermland Opera orchestra, which with its 34 full-time members provides both orchestral concerts and opera and musical productions. The orchestra runs its own concert series in Karlstad CCC's concert hall (about 7-8 concerts per season). The major concert series 2026/2027 offers a diverse program with prominent guest conductors and soloists. The musicians in the Wermland Opera orchestra also frequently play in various chamber music formations, and the orchestra demonstrates great versatility as they easily move between different genres. Wermland Opera is now located in our new premises at "Bageriet". On the ground floor are the Orchestra Hall and the Studio, which serve as both rehearsal rooms and public stages, as well as a kitchen and restaurant. In the rest of the building, there are many more rehearsal rooms, production workshops, a music library, and administration. The production workshops include a costume atelier, painting, props and accessories workshop, carpentry workshop, forge, lighting workshop, and mask and wig workshop.
