Den Nationale Scene (The National Stage, Bergen) is one of Norway’s four national performing arts institutions and one of the country’s oldest permanent theatres, with roots dating back to Det Norske Theater, founded in 1850 by the Norwegian violinist Ole Bull.
Our mission is to create engaging, entertaining, and socially relevant theatre of high artistic quality for a wide audience.
Located in the centre of Bergen, Den Nationale Scene has played a key role in the development of Norwegian theatre and was an early workplace for Henrik Ibsen. Since 1909, the theatre has been housed in its distinctive Art Nouveau building at Engen.
The building is currently undergoing extensive modernisation, and performances are taking place at venues across the city. Each year, Den Nationale Scene presents around 25 productions, ranging from classical works and contemporary drama to theatre for children and families.
With approximately 140 employees, in-house workshops, and a dedicated artistic ensemble, Den Nationale Scene remains a dynamic and central part of Bergen’s cultural life.
