National Theatre Oslo, Cultural heritage theatre in central Oslo, Norway
The National Theatre building features classical architecture with ornate stone facades, sculptures, and a grand copper-roofed entrance facing the Royal Palace.
Since its inauguration in 1899, the theatre has presented significant works, beginning with performances of Ludvig Holberg, Henrik Ibsen, and Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson.
The venue maintains four distinct performance spaces: the Main Stage, the Amphitheatre, the Painting Parlour, and the separate Torshov Theatre in Oslo's Torshov district.
The theatre sits between Oslo's Royal Palace and Parliament, with direct access to National Theatre Station for trains and National Theatre metro station.
The finance director Sverre Brandt created the children's play 'Journey to the Christmas Star' in 1924, which became a traditional holiday performance at the theatre.
