With just over 20 events 3-9 August, Birgit Nilsson Festival 2025 is now closed with Verdi’s Aida as the grand finale in front of a record audience – 3,469 people at the Tennis Stadium in Båstad. The week has also offered everything from a scholarship concert to Master Class, concerts, talks, musical meetings, films and sing-alongs for the whole family!
The planning for BIRGIT NILSSON FESTIVAL 2026 is already in full swing and in connection with the Aida performance applause, the audience received exclusive news – the next open air concert at the Tennis Stadium will be none other than Richard Wagner’s dramatic and romantic opera Der fliegende Holländer (The Flying Dutchman), on August 8.
The opera is based on a sea legend about a ship whose crew is doomed to sail the seas forever… In addition to the Dutchman, the young woman Senta is at the centre of the story.
Ticket sales start on October 1. Keep an eye out for more news on this website.
