Opera, dance and concerts all year round
Norrlandsoperan is located in central Umeå, about 30 minutes from Wallhalla. Here you can see opera, concerts or dance performances during your stay. Different performances are staged throughout the year, so it is a matter of seeing what is on just when you are here and booking accordingly. Many people come here when something specific appeals rather than going spontaneously. It is an easy way to add an evening in town if you want to vary your stay with something other than the nature around Wallhalla.
