Centralteatret

Centralteatret is a theatre in Akersgata, Oslo, Norway.[1]

Centralteatret was established by the Alma Isabella Bosse Fahlstrøm (1863-1946) and Johan Peter Broust Fahlstrøm (1867-1938) in 1897. From 1902, Harald Otto (1865-1928) was the theater manager and owner. His son, Reidar Otto, subsequently ran it, while his son, Harald Otto joined as manager in 1938. Members of the Otto family ran the theater until 1959. [2][3][4]

Since 1959 the premises have been used partly as a television studio. Central theater is now renovated and is Norway's oldest theater site in operation. The hall has 387 seats. The theatre was especially known for a repertoire of the light genre including comedy, revues and operettas, but also classics (such as Ibsen) and new Norwegian drama had its place here.
