The National Theatre of Oslo is not just a venue—it’s a grand stage where stories come to life and imagination takes flight. Nestled in the heart of the city, this historic building stands as a testament to Norway’s rich theatrical tradition and artistic excellence.

It is here that language transforms into poetry, emotions into movement, and visions into unforgettable spectacles. For those seeking to be inspired, enchanted, and moved, the National Theatre of Oslo offers an artistic journey like no other, leaving an indelible mark on the soul.

A nice and historic place since it is close to the castle in Oslo and almost all the important theatre shows are held here.

I loved the National Theatre in Oslo – its architecture is beautifully simple and timeless. The ambiance truly complements the performances, creating a classic, inviting setting. One thing to note is that the air felt quite dry; after watching a three-hour performance, my throat and eyes were a bit uncomfortable. However, it wasn't too much of an issue – a glass of water and a good night's sleep quickly resolved it. Overall, it was a lovely experience that I'd recommend, especially for those who appreciate classic architectural charm.

Beautiful theatre build in late 1800s. We had the cheapest seats and the view was still good. Amazing sound also.

Passed by this place on 8/5/24, beautiful structure and buildings. There's park/square on-site, can relax and admire the nice surroundings.

Nice place. Just beside the railway station with the same name. Cool place nearby for good Asian and Norwegian food.

it a busy place. But you will like this place. Coz you can have bus,taban,trik everything from here.

Stunning architecture to see. Not far from other local site seeing spots. So all in walking distance and opposite the train station

Beautiful building in Oslo, Norway. Our friends took us here while we were visiting this incredible city. Did we watch a performance here? Unfortunately, the answer was no because time would not allow it. Did not even go inside. :( They said that our stay in Oslo needs to be longer next time. Apparently, there are a few guided tours to choose from for exploring the National Theater and learning more about its history. I think it was built in 1899. It is a stunning tourist attraction. The outside of this building is simply lovely. The fountain close by is quite wonderful also. Maybe one day we will go inside. Our friends say that you cannot truly appreciate it til you walk in there.

The National Theatre in Oslo is one of Norway's largest and most prominent venues for performance of dramatic arts. The main building is centrally located between the Royal Palace, Oslo and the Parliament of Norway. It is served by National Theatre Station and National Theatre metro stations. It was designed by architect Henrik Bull. Tourist attraction, however beautiful and detailed architecture buildings to photograph.
