Fredrikshald Theatre, Halden (NO) visit 4th of August 2013

Norway‘s best preserved historic theatre opened in 1838., and expanded in 1850 with banqueting rooms and a kitchen. 
An extensive restoration campaign was completed in 1982 and a new dressing room block added.




The theatre has guided tours, but can also be visited on appointment, so we were greeted by Ms. Annerud who especially opened her theatre for us on Sunday morning.


The venue is owned by the by Halden historiske Samlinger (Halden History Museum).
The theatre operates as a theatre and event location within the antiquarian and museum requirements.
 

Fredrikshald Theatre has an extraordinary collection of stage sets from the 19th century


The stage, too, has been preserved, featuring a simple mechanism for scene changes.



There is no understage machinery.


Also visit the fort high on the hill above Halden, and have a drink and something to eat at the restaurants overlooking the waterside at the fjord.
