Asmik Grigorian returns as Tatyana, the young heroine who falls in love with Onegin. Screened live in cinemas at Studio Acusticum on May 2, 2026.   Tchaikovsky's many moods – tender, grand, melancholic – are given free rein in Eugene Onegin. The opera is based on Pushkin's iconic verse novel. Similarly, Tchaikovsky took Western European operatic traditions and transformed them into an authentically and indisputably Russian work. At the center of the opera is the young Tatyana, who develops from a sentimental teenager to a consummate woman in one of the most compelling character developments in opera history. Eugene Onegin had its world premiere at the Maly Theatre in Moscow in 1879, with students from the Moscow Conservatory. In 1881, it had its professional premiere at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow.   RUNNING TIME Approximately 4 hours and 5 minutes incl. 2 breaksStudio Acusticum, Stora salenContactinfo@studioacusticum.com

Long live Fantomen! one could exclaim Hemul är död! Long live Hemul!. And in the same way that the death knell goes from generation to generation, the band has now gained new blood with two new, younger members. Since the 80s, Hemul has played their own music, which they began to call Grynings- och skymningsmusik early on. Which, incidentally, is also the name of their album (available on Spotify). It is difficult to generalize the music in any genre – the closest thing is probably the epithet progressive rock.   After a long rest, the band has now resurfaced in a new version. They have refreshed songs from a previous repertoire and created a lot of new material. The band consists of Micke Andersson vocals and synth, KG Johansson guitars, Anders Nystedt percussion, Miranda Johansson bass and vocals and Johan Nystedt guitars, synths and vocals.   Now you have a chance to see them Wednesday, May 20th at Studio Acusticum Black Box.

The debut album Älskar, älskar inte from 2023 was praised by critics and reviewers, and they were compared to ABBA, among others. Now new songs, gems from the first album and exciting newly written material await to be performed with the powerful sound of the big band. Tilde Schweizer, one of Sweden's most prominent young arrangers, is taking care of the arrangements and promises to give the duo's songs a whole new dimension. Tilde is the trombonist who, through her own big band, has managed to create a new interest in both jazz and the big band as a format. She has previously played with the Norrbotten Big Band and this time will be given a more prominent position as arranger for the band.   Artistic director Joakim Milder describes the meeting as elegantly song-making, unpredictable and soulful – an evening filled with music that touches.   The concert is part of Jazzfeeling 2026Studio Acusticum, Black BoxContactinfo@studioacusticum.com

The production draws inspiration from their paintings and features a libretto by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Nilo Cruz. It will be shown live in theaters at Studio Acusticum on May 30, 2026.   The story is designed as a reversal of the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice and depicts Frida, sung by the distinguished mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard, as she leaves the underworld on the Day of the Dead to be reunited with Diego, played by baritone Carlos Álvarez. The famously feuding couple briefly relive their stormy love, embracing both passion and pain before bidding a final farewell to the world of the living.   Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts the Met premiere of Frank's opera, a confident, richly imaginative composition (The New Yorker), bursting with color and fresh originality (Los Angeles Times). The vibrant new production is directed and choreographed by Deborah Colker, following her acclaimed debut production of Ainadamar in 2024.   RUNNING TIME Approximately 2 hours and 48 minutes including one intermissionStudio Acusticum, Stora salenContactinfo@studioacusticum.com

During one and the same evening, strong presence, great emotions and songs that linger long after the last note meet. The bar is open all evening and between acts there is a nice hangout with service – a perfect Saturday evening. You can experience all of this with Saturday Pass.   Amanda Bergman has touched audiences around the world with her warm and distinctive voice for over a decade. Since her solo debut Docks in 2016, she has established herself as one of Sweden's most distinctive artists – and her latest album embraced for a second as we die continues to explore the emotional landscape of today, where the personal and political meet in music filled with both vulnerability and strength.   Valter Nilsson has in a short time gone from clubbing to sold-out concerts and growing audiences all over the country. With his current album Högsbo Riviera, he offers soulful soul rock'n'roll filled with everyday stories, social pathos and melodies that quickly become audience favorites.   Together, Amanda and Valter create a concert evening where two strong musical expressions meet - from Amanda Bergman's emotional and poetic universe to Valter Nilsson's energetic and community-building live experience.   Age limit: 18 yearsStudio Acusticum, Stora salenContactinfo@studioacusticum.com

Since her solo debut Docks in 2016, she has established herself as one of the country's most unique artists - while also being a farmer, releasing several albums with the supergroup Amason, starting the concert venue Rockbonden and creating music that moves equally naturally between the intimate and the grand.   In January 2025, Amanda Bergman returned with the album Embraced for a second as we die, the follow-up to the double Grammy-winning Your Hand Forever Checking On My Fever. Here, the personal and the political meet in a music that attempts to capture the present as it unfolds - the small quiet moments, a world that shakes, people who disappear and love as an act of resistance. The result is as vulnerable as it is powerful, where euphoria and despair coexist in every note.   On stage, Amanda Bergman creates an atmosphere that is both close and enveloping – a concert experience where her voice is the centerpiece and where each song carries its own story.   The concert can also be experienced as part of the Festival Pass or the Saturday ticket, where you also get to experience Valter Nilsson on the same day.   Age limit: 18 yearsStudio Acusticum, Stora salenContactinfo@studioacusticum.com

The first taste, the reality-based song Lukas, Dennis & farsan, clearly shows why more and more people want to be part of the community Valter Nilsson and his band create on stage.   After acclaimed and sold-out concerts at Nefertiti, Pustervik and Fasching, a notable appearance at Musikhjälpen and a win at the Nöjesguiden Gothenburg Prize, it is clear that Valter Nilsson's journey has only just begun. On the new album, created together with the gun-bearer Johan Weber, the sound is broadened with brass and strings - which makes the music both bigger and more emotional. The result is a rare combination of self-confidence and humility: triumphant music that at the same time carries a touch of melancholy.   Experience Valter Nilsson at the Festival - a concert filled with presence, energy and songs that will stay with you for a long time.   The concert is also included in the Festival Pass and the Saturday ticket, where you can also experience Amanda Bergman on the same day.   Age limit: 18 yearsStudio Acusticum, Stora salenContactinfo@studioacusticum.com
