Kristiania Norske Theater

Kristiania Norske Theater (literally: Christiania Norwegian Theatre), also called Det Norske Theater (literally: The Norwegian Theatre), was established in 1852 in Møllergata 1 as Den norske dramatiske skoles Theater (literally: The Norwegian Dramatic School's Theatre). It changed its name in 1857. The theatre was a result of the strife surrounding Norwegian and Danish as stage languages during the 1850es, and it was founded as an alternative to the Danish-language and Danish-dominated Christiania Theatre.

Knud Knudsen was the theatre's linguistic consultant, and in the period from 1857 to 1862, Henrik Ibsen was its artistic director.
