Malmö Opera Orchestra was founded in 1991. Consisting of 62 musicians, the orchestra is recognised for its ability to master a wide range of musical styles, from the classic operas to contemporary music dramas, musicals and ballet. Each season the orchestra performs symphonic programmes, gala concerts and chamber recitals alongside its core work as an opera orchestra.
The orchestra has made several recordings which include symphonic music and operatic repertoire and performances. From 2015 to 2024 Leif Segerstam (1944–2024) was the orchestra’s honorary conductor after previously serving as chief conductor. Patrik Ringborg is the orchestra’s principal guest conductor since 2022, and the orchestra’s director is Tecwyn Evans.
