Oslo Nye Teater is a theater in Oslo, Norway. Its main venue is located at Rosenkrantz' gate 10, and the company is wholly owned by Oslo Municipality. ^{[1] [2] [3]}

History

The establishment opened as Det Nye Teater on 26 February 1929. Architects Gudolf Blakstad (1893–1985) and Jens Gram Dunker (1898–1984) were engaged to design the building, creating a neoclassical structure. From 1994 to 1995, the audience area was upgraded under the direction of the architects Kristin Jarmund and Ola Helle.^{[ citation needed ]}

In September 1959, Oslo Nye Teater resulted from a merger between Det Nye Teater and Folketeatret, which had operated independently since 1952.^{[ citation needed ]}

Oslo Nye Teater operates from four stages: Oslo Nye Hovedscenen, Oslo Nye Centralteatret, Oslo Nye Trikkestallen, and Oslo Nye Teaterkjeller’n. ^{[4] [5] [6]}
