The Nationaltheatret (German "Nationaltheater") was opened in Oslo in 1899 and is the largest spoken theater in Norway. It has become internationally known for its productions of classics – especially the plays of Henrik Ibsen.

The design for the building came from the architect Henrik Bull, and the house was ceremoniously opened in 1899. Bull's design was based on the German theater architecture in use at the time. It combines elements from Art Nouveau, Berlin Classicism and Neo-Rococo. The building has been a listed building since 1983.
Since its opening, there have been two statues of the Norwegian playwrights Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson and Henrik Ibsen created by the sculptor Stephan Sinding in front of the theater.

🇵🇱 The theater has a long history of collaboration with international artists, including Polish director Piotr Chołodziński, who staged successful productions of Witkacy's works.

The building was designed by Henrik Bull and is located between the Royal Palace and the Parliament building. It was initially funded privately and only received a small government subsidy in 1929.
