===Theatre===

In 1944, Malmö Stadsteater (Malmö Municipal Theatre) was established with a repertoire comprising stage theatre, opera, musical, ballet, musical recitals and experimental theatre. In 1993 it was split into three units, Dramatiska Teater (Dramatical Theatre), Malmö Musikteater (Music Theatre) and Skånes Dansteater (Skåne Dance Theatre) and the name was abandoned. The ownership of the last two were transferred to [[Region Skåne]] in 2006 Dramatiska Teatern regained its old name. In the 1950s [[Ingmar Bergman]] was the Director and Chief Stage Director of Malmö Stadsteater and many of his actors, like [[Max von Sydow]] and [[Ingrid Thulin]] became known through his films. Later stage directors include [[Staffan Valdemar Holm]] and [[Göran Stangertz]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Malmö Stadsteater |website=malmostadsteater.se |url=http://www.malmostadsteater.se/om_malmo_stadsteater/om_oss |access-date=2 February 2010 |language=sv |archive-date=19 September 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080919213202/http://www.malmostadsteater.se/om_malmo_stadsteater/om_oss/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> Malmö Musikteater were renamed [[Malmö Opera and Music Theatre|Malmö Operan]] and plays operas and musicals, classics as newly composed, on one of Scandinavia's large opera scenes with 1,511 seats.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Malmö Opera och Musikteater |url=http://www.malmoopera.se/d/1/inenglish|website=MalmoOpera.se|url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100105024846/http://www.malmoopera.se/d/1/inenglish |archive-date=5 January 2010 |access-date=2 February 2010}}</ref> Skånes dansteater is active and plays contemporary dance repertory and present works by Swedish and international choreographers in their house in Malmö harbor.<ref>{{Cite web |title=About us |website=Skånes Dansteater |url=http://www.skanesdansteater.se/en-GB/Page/content/74/About-us.aspx |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100818103625/http://www.skanesdansteater.se/en-GB/Page/content/74/About-us.aspx |archive-date=18 August 2010 |access-date=2 February 2010}}</ref>

Since the 1970s the city has also been home to independent theatre groups and show or musical companies. It also hosts a rock–dance–dub culture; in the 1960s [[The Rolling Stones]] played the [[Klubb Bongo]], and in recent years stars like [[Morrissey]], [[Nick Cave]], [[B.B. King]] and [[Pat Metheny]] have made repeated visits.

[[The Cardigans]] debuted in Malmö and recorded their albums there. On 7 January 2009 [[CNN]] Travel broadcast a segment called "MyCity_MyLife" featuring [[Nina Persson]] taking the camera to some of the sites in Malmö that she enjoys.

The [[Rooseum]] Centre for Contemporary Art, founded in 1988 by the Swedish art collector and financier Fredrik Roos and housed in a former power station which had been built in 1900, was one of the foremost centres for [[contemporary art]] in Europe during the 1980s and 1990s. By 2006, most of the collection had been sold off and the museum was on a time-out; by 2010 Rooseum had been dismantled and a subsidiary of the National Museum of Modern Art inaugurated in its place.
