The Norwegian Theatre

In the declaration of mission from 1912 it is said that The Norwegian Theatre is to "show plays in Norwegian language, rural and urban". All the productions the theatre produces use the language of New Norwegian or different dialects. The Norwegian and the Nordic are important components in the repertoire, in addition to classics and modern European and international drama.

Musical theatre has also played an important role in the repertoire since the very beginning. The Norwegian Theatre hosted the Norwegian openings of large-scale musicals such as Cats and Les Misérables. In recent years The Norwegian Theatre has emphasised new Norwegian drama as well as developing new musicals.

The repertoire is decided by the artistic director in collaboration with an artistic council consisting of representatives from the different artistic departments of the theatre.

EventyrForteljeTeaterStund* (FairytaleTellingTheatreTime) by The Norwegian Theatre was nominated for The Hedda Award 2013 in the special artistic achievement category.
