The National Theatre in Oslo is one of Norway's largest and most prominent venues for performance of dramatic arts. The National Theatre was founded as a private institution and weathered several financial crises until 1929, when the Norwegian government started providing modest support. A number of famous Norwegians have served as artistic directors for the theatre, but Vilhelm Krag who took over in 1911, is credited as having brought the theatre into its "golden age." The theatre is often considered the home for Ibsen's plays, and most of his works have been performed here. Oslo, Norway, 2012.
