Trøndelag Teater

Trøndelag Teater is a theatre building in central Trondheim with multiple stages and performance spaces designed for different types of productions. The facilities accommodate everything from large-scale theatrical works to smaller experimental projects.

The building was constructed in 1816, making it the longest continuously operating stage venue in all Scandinavian countries. Between 1829 and 1848, Danish theatre companies settled here permanently, bringing professional theatrical performances to the region.

This venue has served as a gathering place where the community comes together to experience stories and performances that reflect local life. Over time, theatrical traditions here have shaped how people in the region see themselves and their cultural identity.

The theatre is centrally located in the city and easily accessible on foot with clear signs marking the entrance. The renovated building features modern facilities with stairs and elevators to access different levels and performance spaces.

During World War II, director Henry Gleditsch used theatrical productions to express resistance against German occupation until his execution in 1942. His courage marked the theatre as a place where artistic defiance could take root.
