The National Theatre in Oslo holds a special place in the hearts native Norwegians. A hub for the performing arts, the National Theatre's doors have been open since 1899, and it prides itself on being one of Norway's most renowned venues for plays and theatrical productions.
Throughout the past century, the National Theatre in Oslo has hosted a plethora of world-famous drama directors, including Bjørn Bjørnson, Henrik Ibsen, Ludvig Holberg, and Vilhelm Krag. Many drama enthusiasts believe Krag to have been the theatre's driving force into an era of prosperity in the early 19th century. The theatre is considered the premier place to see Isben's plays also, as the majority of his productions have been held there.
The National Theatre is situated directly between Oslo's Royal Palace and the Parliament of Norway. The building itself has three extravagant stages, one of which is an amphitheater. If you are visiting with your family in the winter time, you should go experience the famous annual children's play The Journey to the Christmas Star. As Norwegians take their drama very seriously, you wouldn't want to miss out on the opportunity to see a show at the National Theatre.
