Göteborg Opera has a new graphic identity by Happy F&B and is a part of an overall development. The identity takes inspiration from the organisation’s creativity and the proximity of the building to the water. A dynamic symbol, created by the sound of our artists!
A bit about Göteborg Opera house: “In the early 1840s, the idea of building a new theatre in Gothenburg began to circulate. In 1859, Nya Theatern opened in the white stone building that we can still see in Kungsparken today, now called Stora Teatern.
100 years later, the building had been outgrown. The idea to build a new venue was tabled. This was the start of a discussion that was to continue for many years.
The first bricks were laid at last in 1991 – and in October 1994 the Göteborg Opera was inaugurated. The architecture of the new, hangar-sized opera house brought to mind ship hulls, bridges, wharf cranes and wind-filled sails.
For 20 years, the opera house at the mouth of the Göta Älv river has been taking its audience on a journey through worlds of music and dance. Each show has – in its own way – contributed to moving the Göteborg Opera forward. We are constantly learning from our audiences and from our performers. That is why today, we dare to be braver and cut loose a bit more.”
