Oslo Nye Teater

Oslo Nye Teater is a theater company in central Oslo that operates four separate stages housed at Rosenkrantz' gate 10. The multiple venues allow for different production formats and audience sizes.

The company was founded in 1959 through the merger of Det Nye Teater and Folketeatret, occupying a building designed by architects Blakstad and Dunker in 1929. This merger united two established institutions into a single major venue.

The theater shapes Oslo's cultural life by staging classics alongside contemporary works that range from established to new pieces. Visitors experience a mix of Norwegian and international productions that draw audiences regularly.

Visitors can check what shows are running and what is on the schedule before planning a visit. The central location makes it easy to reach the venues on foot.

Between 1994 and 1995 the building underwent major renovations focused on improving audience areas and comfort. These improvements under architects Kristin Jarmund and Ola Helle created a modernized theater experience.
