 High-quality puppet theatre |
Frognerveien 67 Oslo 0266 Norway +47 22 34 8600 |
Dukketeatret is owned by Oslo Nye Teater, whose theatrical repertoire is dominated by comedies and lighter plays. Dukketeatret (the Puppet Theatre) is located in an old manor at Frogner, next to the Vigeland park. The puppetry performances, aimed at children aged four and above, are of a really high quality. The performances usually attract large audiences, so make sure you reserve tickets for the plays well in advance. Every November and December, toddlers from Oslo's kindergartens invade Frogner to see the play Snekker Andersen og Julenissen ("Carpenter Anderson and Father Christmas"). Tickets for this particular play are sold out immediately, so forget any spontaneous plans. Review © 2007, Wcities |
