| | | | The Royal Swedish Ballet is one of the oldest ballet companies in Europe. Based in Stockholm, Sweden, King Gustav III founded the ballet in 1773 as a part of his national cultural project in response to the French and Italian dominance in this field; he also founded the Royal Swedish Opera and the Royal Dramatic Theatre. All of these were initially located in the old theatre of Bollhuset. The company was founded with the opening of the Royal Swedish Opera, which has served as its home since that time.

| | | | The Royal Sedish Ballet School was founded in 1773, together with the Royal Swedish Ballet, by King Gustav III. After an unbroken tradition of 210 years the school moved out of the Royal Opera House in 1983 to become a communal and state-supported school integrated into the communal school of Högalid in Stockholm. From 1983-1992 the school expended greatly and now has about two hundred fifty pupils in a basic school of six grades and a high school of three year-levels.
