    Oslo's National Theatre (Nationaltheatret) opened in 1899 and is a nice example of Norwegian architecture. The building is surrounded by statues of famous authors and actors. The theatre shows mainly Norwegian plays, but also classic and modern works.

    Walking past the Dom Kirche and continuing on Karl Johans Gate you will soon find the National Theater. This picture was taken from the back of the theater. You can click on the thumbnail for a larger clearer picture.

    The theater was inaugurated in 1899. In the front of the theater, but not pictured due to a bad photo on my part, is a statue of Henrick Ibsen. Many of his plays were originally presented at this theater.

    You can't miss it this bulding... it's on main street Karl Johans Gate and look like a typical European theatre. Norway’s national theatre opened its doors in 1899. The building is surrounded by statues of well-known authors and actors.

    Nationaltheatret: Downtown Oslo

    In downtown Oslo you'll find quite a concentration of important places. From west to east, following a line (that line is Karl Johans Gata), there's the Royal Palace, the Nationaltheatre, and next to it the University of Oslo (one of the several buildings it has) and at the eastermost side, the Stortinget (or the Parliement).
    The picture shows Nationaltheatre, from the Royal Palace gardens. Left side of the picture is Karl Johans gata, the main street in the centre, while, beyond the Theatre you can catch a glimpse of Stortinget. I regret not having more pics of the area, and I took theese to see the contrast between winter and spring.

    The National Theatre is one of Norways largest theatres, where many important works of art are performed.

    The theatre can trace its origins to the Christiana Theater which was opened in 1829. The current building opened with its first performance in September 1899 and was designed by Henrik Bull.
    Apparently the Auditorium is worth seeing. There are also rare portraits of famous artists by some of Norways best known painters including Munch and Krohg.

    I'm afraid that I didn't get to see the interior during my visit, but the outside was quite attractive, both the architecture, and the many statues in the surrounding garden, including ones of Norwegian writers Henrik Ibsen and Bjornstjere Bjornson. In the photo below is a statue commemorating Norwegian actor Per Aabel (1902 -1999)

    Almost all of the plays performed are in Norwegian. During the annual Ibsen Festival (Late August -Early September) Plays are presented in the languages of the visiting foreign companies. Some locals refer to this venue as Ibsens Theatre, as most of his plays have been performed here.

    The nice National Theatre was built in 1899, when Henrik Ibsen died. It has got a fantastic pit built in Rococò style. Outside the theatre you can see the stautes of the most famous Norwegian composers: Ibsen and Bjornson.
