Christiania Theatre, Theatre venue at Bankplassen, Oslo, Norway.
The Christiania Theatre building stands near Akershus Fortress, featuring architectural elements designed by Christian Heinrich Grosch in the 1830s style.
From its opening in October 1836 until September 1899, this establishment served as Norway's primary stage for spoken drama performances.
The theatre sparked discussions about national identity as it initially employed Danish actors before integrating Norwegian performers into its ensemble from 1849.
The building underwent repairs after a fire incident during a performance in January 1877, leading to structural improvements and safety measures.
This venue premiered Henrik Ibsen's Peer Gynt in 1876, marking a significant moment in Norwegian theatrical literature.
