Stockholms stadsteater was created in 1956 but the first performance was delayed until 1960. It had not yet been decided at that point where in the city the theatre would be situated so the Folkets hus building at Norra Bantorget, with a temporary stage, became the first solution. However, this "temporary solution" lasted for nearly thirty years until the autumn of 1990, when all activity finally moved to the present location at Sergels torg. [3]
