2 Best Performing Arts in Bergen, Norway

One of the city's most majestic buildings, the Art Nouveau Den Nationale Scene first opened its doors in 1906 with a performance before the royal family. The National Theater is worth a visit just to see the opulent main theater, which hosts lavish Broadway-style productions. Smaller venues inside the august building include the 250-seat Småscenen and the 90-seat Lille Scene.

This popular concert and theater venue sits on Bergen's main drag. Edvard Grieg performed here, and so have artists from Sergei Rachmaninoff to Rickie Lee Jones.
