Opera students graduated in performance at Wermland Opera
- “It is precious for the students to have their degree performance at Wermland Opera with their fine opera orchestra and the experienced conductor Andreas Hanson. It is also important that the students get an insight into the work on and behind the scenes and at Wermland Opera they get good support from the opera house's staff", says Lise-Lotte Axelsson Head of Opera at SKH.

The graduation performance Keys of Power
The performance Keys of Power (Maktens Nycklar) at Wermland Opera on 18-19 May 2024 was an Italian evening of opera music by Donizetti, Bellini and Wolf-Ferrari.
The students presented scenes from three operas that in different ways tell the story of women losing control of their lives - the tragic bel canto operas I Capuleti e i Montecchi (Romeo and Juliet) and Anna Bolena (Anne Boleyn) and from the comic opera Le donne curioze (The Curious Wives).
