Here is the Dramaten one of Stockholm's many theatres.
They are putting on Shakespeare's "Scottish Play". I don't know if it is the case in Sweden but it is a superstition in the UK that saying the word "Macbeth" whilst in a theatre is bad luck for the performers. To avoid risking the luck of the actors and performances, Macbeth is commonly referred to as "The Scottish Play".
You can also see here, the top of a tram. More of that later.

Swedish actor Allan Edwall started and ran almost single-handedly a smallish theatre on Brunnsgatan. He is not with us anymore but this particular heritage has been taken care of and is very much alive. (
