As has long been true, Stockholm is home to many innovative performers on the international music scene, from Robyn
to the Shout Out Louds to Suburban Kids With Biblical Names to Ane Brun
to…well, the list is endless. Check out concert listings at the many
venues around town, such as Debaser, Nalen, Berns, and Cirkus
.
Classical music also has a strong presence in Stockholm, with enviable line-ups at
Konserthuset and
Berwaldhallen.
The Royal Opera
(www.operan.se) puts on the lavish productions opera is loved for,
while Folkoperan (folkoperan.se) often serves up the same fare with
intriguing interpretations or twists.
Film lovers won’t be disappointed by the annual
Stockholm Film Festival presented in the fall—having screened over 2000 films, it celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2009.
But
perhaps Stockholm’s most memorable entertainment options lie in its
various outdoor recreation opportunities, from hot air ballooning and
kayaking to biking and hiking. Also, don’t forget the countless spa
options available for treatments that help you relax and enjoy your
stay.
