Christiania Norwegian Theatre

Christiania Norwegian Theatre

The Christiania Norwegian Theatre (Norwegian: Kristiania norske Theater) was founded in 1852 under the name of Norwegian Dramatic School, and later renamed Christiania Norwegian Theatre. The initiative came from the lieutenant engineer Johannes Bendictus Klingenberg, after he had visited the Norwegian Theatre in Bergen and been disappointed by the un-norske repertoire selection, Danes Jens Larsen Cronborg and Martin Mortensen.[1]

In 1854, the drama school turned into a real theater. Henrik Ibsen, then the head-hunter of the theater in Bergen, where he was stage director, was called in to become the first Norwegian Christiania Theater's artistic director. Ibsen took over the responsibility for the new theater operations from autumn 1857, serving as theater director until it went bankrupt in the summer of 1862.[2] The Christian Norwegian Theatre and the Christiania Theatre were officially united on 15 July 1863.[1]
