Den Nationale Scene
The national theater in Bergen. In a beautifully restored building, the theater presents a variety of plays on three different stages, from traditional Ibsen to contemporary plays. The largest stage (Store scene) is where most mainstream plays are played, while the two smaller stages features more alternative plays, often the most interesting ones. The plays are in Norwegian.

The National Theatre
Den Nationale Scene
The main theatre is a monumental Art Nouveau building in a prominent position on Ole Bull's square. As an institution the theatre played a key role. Ole Bull, a major international star on the violin, established the theater and employed the young Henrik Ibsen as instructor. Later Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson, another national icon, worked there. Ole Bull also discovered the young music talent Edvard Grieg. This theatre made Norwegian, rather than Danish, into the standard language on stage, and it was long the #1 stage in Norway.
