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 and ballet. Each season, the orchestra performs a number of symphonic concerts along with Gala and chamber concerts. The orchestra has made several recordings, which include symphonic music and operatic performances. In 2015 Leif Segerstam became the orchestra's honorary conductor after he completed his term as principal conductor. The principal guest conductor is currently Steven Sloane, and the orchestra is managed by Martin Brommann.
