Nye Theatre, Oslo, Norway

Date Built	1929
Location	Rosenkrantzgt
Description
The foundation stone for Oslo's Nye (New) Theatre was laid on October 15, 1927 and the first performance took place on February 26, 1929.  Over the years the building has seen changes of management and in 1999 came very close to bankruptcy.  It says of itself that, ".... The theater is today a modern theater with a local anchorage to Oslo City, offering its audience a repertoire characterized by new drama, both Norwegian and international, and has thus linked threads back to the theater's original goal."
