Riksteatret

Riksteatret produces theatrical performances across 200 different stages throughout Norway, bringing diverse storytelling experiences to communities across the country.

The Norwegian government established Riksteatret by law in 1948, with Fritz von der Lippe serving as its first director from 1949 to 1968.

The theater company received the Tyrihansprisen award in 2001, recognizing its continuous efforts to make theatrical performances accessible to audiences nationwide.

The organization maintains a ticket fund providing free theater access to schoolchildren throughout Norway while offering various discount options for general audiences.

The company operates a nationwide touring system, bringing professional theater productions to remote locations where residents would otherwise lack access to live performances.
