Welcome to the opera! With a unique combination of opera, contemporary dance, musicals and concerts, the Göteborg Opera has created a reputation for itself as a modern opera house with a fresh approach.
Classical works are interpreted in new ways and are fused with contemporary works. Different art forms meet and enrich each other.
Productions of the highest artistic quality created here attract attention even beyond Sweden’s borders.
This handbook is intended primarily for those of you working in our guest production teams.
It provides insight into our work procedures and organisation and will hopefully help you find the right people and locales.
We also hope to clarify the requirements placed on you, and to present the opportunities made available to you by our opera house.

Project departmentOnce the repertoire has been determined by the CEO together with the artistic management team, each production is modelled into a project and a project manager is appointed.
The project manager is responsible for implementation, planning, management, budget, work environment and follow-up, and is required to report to the CEO.
Artistic responsibility lies with the production team.
Departmental line managers supply the project with resources in the form of personnel and venues. These resources, in conjunction with the funding provided to the project, are disbursed according to each project’s needs and the house’s total resources.
The project department’s main task is to lead and manage The Göteborg Opera’s productions. The department consists of about a dozen of people, a project manager, a planning manager and project supervisors.
We have a project-oriented approach at The Göteborg Opera. Essentially, this means that everyone employed and working at The Göteborg Opera is included in the line/base, but works on projects.
Projects run in parallel, so in order for them to be managed efficiently meetings are called at specified intervals. Refer to the schedule on the following page. Our department is on the 4th floor above the stage entrance

How productions are staffed The season’s productions are staffed by the line departments during technical collation. Production supervisors are appointed from each department as shown below. They are your contacts and partners in the project.
The repertoire concept means that the productions will be performed and produced in parallel throughout the year. This means the house’s resources and spaces are always shared by several productions.
The Göteborg Opera employs a production-bound working method. To ensure good coordination and management during a production’s rehearsal and performance period, we have developed SM*. It consists of an assistant director, deputy stage manager and stage manager who all have work environment responsibilities delegated by the project manager. In dance productions the assistant director is replaced by a rehearsal manager who works with choreographers and with artistic concerns. These three are jointly responsible for the practical implementation of a production with a 2nd unit as back-up. The group’s members belong to their respective line departments but work as a group with the project manager in ”their” production.
*Stage Management Group
Environment The Göteborg Opera works actively with environmental issues and has been doing so for several years. Everything we do makes a difference for future generations, so it’s important for us to act carefully. This means that you, over the course of your project, shall adhere to our environmental policy as a natural part of the process.
In practice this means that all departments endeavour to choose the best alternatives from an environmental perspective. We want to be able to reuse materials to the greatest extent possible, and therefore use recyclable and/or organic materials in all stage scenery, costumes and anything else we make or purchase. Adhesives, paints and other chemicals should be the best in the market from an environmental perspective and suppliers are selected based on the environmental suitability of their products and services, among other factors.
ENVIRONMENTAL POLICYWe shall be economical with finite as well as renewable resources in our business.
We shall comply with laws and other requirements and provide our employees with environmental knowledge.
In our aspiration for sustainable development our work shall be characterised by continuous improvements.
Therefore, we at The Göteborg Opera shall:
• always maintain the environmental impact question as a high priority during planning, purchasing and with regard to decisions within the business.
• always pursue methods and material choices which
• allow for the reuse or recycling of products and material in all manufacturing.
• have a good selection of ecological ingredients in our restaurant kitchen and actively reduce the amount of waste.
• make use of the best paints, adhesives and other chemicals on the market from environmental and work environment perspectives.
• plan trips and transport in such a way that the use of fossil fuels is kept to a minimum.• work consciously to minimise energy consumption.• regularly and openly communicate and follow-up the environmental work.

Stage management, Sound and Wardrobe
STAGE MANAGERSA stage manager is assigned to each production, and oversees it from technical collation to the final performance.
They supervise the stage rehearsals and ”run” all the performances.
They are also responsible for the on-stage work environment during rehearsals and performances when they are led by a director or conductor.
Working hoursWorking hours are individually planned to suit each production in accordance with established working hours agreements.
What we expect from youThat the entire production team actively cooperates.
What you can expect from usA professional and results-based team whose task, according to prevailing constraints, is to do its utmost to fulfil the production team’s objectives.
SOUND TECHNICIANSSound technicians are production-bound.
A sound technician is assigned to each production from the start of technical collation
There are no defined rules regarding procurement of equipment – except for permanent rigging. Purchases are contingent on budget and are handled by the respective project managers. We are a repertoire theatre, which means that some technical possibilities are limited.
All sound solutions must be clearly communicated in the production team.
Sound is the ultimate means of expression in our business, so sound requirements and issues must be raised early in the process in order to meet our audience’s demands.
Additional personnel can be employed for productions which place a high demand on sound if needed.
Working hoursWorking hours are individually planned to suit each production in accordance with established working hours agreements.
To considerFor budgetary reasons it is important for the ”sound idea” to be communicated during the idea presentation.
Sound designers are included in the production team.
What you can expect from usA professional and results-based team whose task, according to prevailing constraints, is to do its utmost to fulfil the production team’s objectives.
Stage managers and sound technicians are located on the 5th floor.
Sound department locations:
The recording studio is on the 3rd floor just inside the entrance. The stage manager’s cubicle is located in the right proscenium tower (stage left).

GeneralEach production has a coordinator who, after technical collation, coordinates the production. The coordinator also has contact with the costume designer (make-up designer) with regard to departmental visits and internal schedules.
Costume and make-up sketches can be found in the costume studio after technical collation. Any major changes, updates, etc. must first be communicated to the studio manager/coordinator.
Located in the costume studio are costume cutters, tailors, dyers/painters/patinators, people responsible for leather and footwear, as well as those responsible for headdress and jewellery.
In the wardrobe department are dressers and persons responsible for laundry. For productions in which children participate there are dressers responsible for children.
Working hoursThe studios are usually staffed Mon–Thurs from 07:30 to 17:30. Fridays from 07:30 to 14:00. We have flexible hours between 07:00–09:00 in the morning, and 16:00–18:00 in the afternoons.
What we expect from youThat matters regarding costumes, make-up, wigs and wardrobe are discussed in the production team.
That full delivery of all costume sketches including footwear, headdress, etc. is provided at technical collation.
That we, together with costume and make-up designers, decide on fabrics, materials, footwear, headdress, wigs and make-up after technical collation.
Inspiration sketches for the whole character i.e. costume, headdress, footwear, make-up, wigs as well as other details. That you consider whether the production entails the fire-proofing of materials, if flying harnesses are required, or other things that will affect costume models and fabric choices.
Requests for rehearsal clothing.
To considerBudgets are limited and frameworks must always be adhered to.
We request that costume and make-up designers come here to deliver their ideas approx. 1 year before the premiere. And if needed, must attend an intermediate meeting to resolve any issues before technical collation.
Submit sketches (technical collation) approx. 8 months before the premiere.
Participate in (usually) 2 fittings which cover all costumes/make-up (women, men, headdress, footwear) for choruses/musicals/dance ensembles except for solos and participate in costume/make-up stage rehearsals.
In connection with sketch delivery or at another appropriate occasion, a brief presentation of the sketches should be conducted for the studios.
What to expect from usProduction supervisors are assigned to each production. One costume cutter from the men’s studio, one from the women’s studio, one from the make-up studio, one from the painting and patination studio, one from the headdress studio and one from the leather studio.
They shall, in a professional manner, work in the production from the idea stage to the première, to ensure that the production team is satisfied and that the production is as good as possible. During technical collation, discussions are held between all production supervisors and costume designers regarding material, costume models and colours, footwear, headdress and make-up.
One of the production supervisors will also have a coordinating responsibility, which means an overall responsibility for the production insofar as to arrange with the costume designer as to when he/she should be available for fittings, etc.
Clarity and politeness.

GeneralWe work with all stage equipment, rigging, lighting and video. We perform/program all set changes during a performance. We manage the logistics, assembly, adjustment, disassembly of stages and décor.
The lighting director/deputy stage manager production supervisors are responsible for lighting/décor during the production. The lighting director/deputy stage manager can assist you with additional equipment, technical solutions, planning, etc.
A team will oversee the production from the idea presentation meeting to the final performance.
The same light board operator does all the programming for your production.
Productions (incl. additional equipment) must be built and handled by your assigned staff.
We fulfil your vision.
Additional rigging and lighting equipment for the rigging is only permitted to be placed in their intended positions.
What we expect from youIn addition to the information supplied to the workshops we will also require:
• A synopsis of stage sets with times for set changes.
• Times for, and speeds of, stage machinery. Schematics for lighting installations in the décor.
• Information about ”extra” equipment not included in existing lighting rigging.
• Information about the number of follow spotlights.
• Show projections with angles, distances, etc if relevant.
To considerScenography including lighting must fit on the stage (within the sound curtains) and may only
be stored in one of the side stage areas. In order for the décor to be stored in-house no component may exceed a height of 8.4 m, or 5.75 m for basement storage. The décor should consist of components with both dimensions.
The décor must be able to be separated during storage and the maximum dimensions should be 8.4 × 2.1 m. The scenography should be able to be built and operated by a maximum of eight technicians over two hours, and must be able to be disassembled in one hour.
All larger lighting installations, projections, video, etc. must be communicated at idea presentation for budgeting purposes. Light plot, the colour filter list and information about gobos must be submitted before the 1st lighting check is done.

Workshops, Construction & Props
WORKSHOPS, CONSTRUCTION & PROPS
GeneralThe workshops are made up of several competencies: constructors, smiths, carpenters, set painters, upholsterers, special effects and props makers. Our flat structure means that you will have direct contact with production managers within each group, but major changes need to first be communicated to the technical production manager who administrates and handles all requests for production of décor, special effects, and props - including furniture.
Working hoursThe workshops are open weekdays during business hours.
What we expect from youWe expect a complete delivery which describes the artistic requirements in detail. The set designer is expected to leave sufficient time for discussion and questions throughout the production process. In those cases where props and décor need to interact with lighting, sound and costume, the set designer is expected to initiate the discussion with the artistic team and to keep the workshop department updated.
A COMPLETE DELIVERY INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:
Emailed for appraisal 1 week prior to the technical collation:
• A list of all required décor elements, included specific numbers needed.
• A preliminary props list. • Requests for earlier delivery of certain décor
elements, e.g. by start of rehearsals. • Plans/drawings external dimensions and
description of function for all décor elements that are to be produced from scratch.
• Plan and elevation drawings for all tableaus with set designs drawn onto Göteborg Opera’s original blueprints.
A further delivery at the technical collation:
• Detailed set model at 1:25 scale, to be usable by set painters.
• Reference images of furniture, props, special set details and any inspiration images for set painters.
• If projection of still or moving images is required, a detailed description including: image/video artwork, projector positions, desired format and size of projection surfaces.
• If print is required, print artwork ready to be sent to the printers’.
To considerWe are a repertory theatre so our storage space is limited, and available production times are not negotiable.
What you can expect from usThat together with our technical production manager we will adapt to the artistic vision within available frameworks.
Set designs are modelled in 3D by the construction department. The model and other plan material will be available in the construction office after the technical collation.
That together with the team’s production managers - usually made up of a constructor, metalworker, carpenter, painer and props maker - work towards a common goal in constructing décor and props.
The décor will be complete by the first stage-build, which is usually 5 weeks prior to the premiere.
At the beginning of rehearsals in rehearsal rooms, we will provide rehearsal props according to the preliminary props list (see above). A finalised list will complete by first stage rehearsals.
During rehearsals in rehearsal rooms props staff will be available if necessary. When rehearsals move to the stage a prop maker will attend each rehearsal.

Stage décor must be constructed in such way that it can be divided for transport and long-time storage.
For environmental reasons we request that you try to match the décor components to the dimensions in our standard directory system Gröna Pricken.
Wall frames are available in heights of 8.40m and 5.80m, with widths of 1 m and 2m. Carriages are 1–4 m in length and are 0.167m in height. Once the décor is in-house it is handled in larger modules and is almost always built on wheels.
IMPORTANT DIMENSIONS:Max. height for storage at stage floor level: 8.40 m
Max. height for basement storage: 5.80 m
Partition dimension 2m for width and depth.
