Den Nationale Scene is also one of the oldest permanent theatres in Norway.\n\nHistory\nOpened under the name Det Norske Theater in 1850, the theatre has roots dating back to its founding on the initiative of the Norwegian violinist Ole Bull. The theatre was created to develop Norwegian playwrights. Henrik Ibsen was one of the first writers-in-residences and art-directors of the theatre and it saw the première in Norway of his first contemporary realist drama The Pillars of Society (Samfundets støtter) on 30 November 1877.The theatre was initially housed in the Komediehuset på Engen. In 1909, The National Theatre moved into the new theatre building at Engen. The current theatre building was designed by Einar Oscar Schou, and opened 19 February 1909 with a production of Erasmus Montanus by Ludvig Holberg. King Haakon VII of Norway and Queen Maud were in attendance. It soon became apparent that the building was too small. In 1913 the company bought Ekserserhuset Jonsvoll to use as a warehouse. In 1920, an extension was built to the northwest. Over the years the building has undergone major changes, extensions, renovation, restoration and stage technical modernisation. The foyer and the hall were destroyed during the Second World War, and only temporarily restored.The theatre experienced a pre-war high point during the period 1934-39 under the leadership Hans Jacob Nilsen. Especially noteworthy was the 1935 premiere of the play Vår ære og vår makt (\"Our Honor and our Power\") by Nordahl Grieg.\nIn 2001 the building was restored almost to its original shape. Today the theatre houses three stages/venues and presents approximately 20 productions each year, both international and national classics, musicals and contemporary drama, as well as children's theatre. Since 1993, the theatre has been state property.\n\nDirectors of the Theatre\n1876–1879 Nils Wichstrøm\n1879–1880 Johan Bøgh\n1880–1881 John Grieg\n1881–1884 Johan Bøgh\n1884–1888 Gunnar Heiberg\n1888–1889 Henrik Jæger\n1889–1890 Otto Valseth\n1890–1895 Johan Irgens-Hansen\n1895–1898 Olaf Hansson\n1899–1900 Hans Aanrud\n1900–1905 Gustav Thomassen\n1905–1907 Anton Heiberg\n1908–1909 Olaf Mørch Hansson\n1910–1924 Ludvig Bergh\n1924–1925 Christian Sandal\n1925–1931 Thomas Thomassen\n1931–1934 Karl Bergmann\n1934–1939 Hans Jacob Nilsen\n1939–1946 Egil Hjorth-Jenssen\n1946–1948 Stein Bugge\n1948–1952 Georg Løkkeberg\n1952–1961 Per Schwab\n1961–1963 Bjarne Andersen\n1963–1967 Gisle Straume\n1967–1976 Knut Thomassen\n1976–1982 Sven Henning\n1982–1986 Kjetil Bang-Hansen\n1986–1996 Tom Remlov\n1996–1997 Ketil Egge\n1997 Aksel-Otto Bull\n1998 Lars Arrhed\n1998–2001 Bentein Baardson\n2001–2007 Morten Borgersen\n2008–2012 Bjarte Hjelmeland\n2012– Agnete Haaland\n\nSee also\nThorolf Rafto Memorial Prize\nPassage 6:\nRønnaug Alten\nRønnaug Alten (9 February 1910 – 20 January 2001) was a Norwegian actress and stage instructor.\n\nBiography\nShe was born in Tromsø, Norway. Her parents were Emil Bredenbech Melle (1878–1950) and Ragna Aass (1880–1975). After her parents' divorce in 1913, she was raised by her mother and her stepfather, Supreme Court Justice Edvin Alten (1876–1967). Her half-sister Berit Alten (1915–2002) was married to literary historian Asbjørn Aarnes (1923–2013). She grew up in Kristiania (now Oslo) and attended Frogner School graduating artium in 1928.In 1932, she married the actor Georg Løkkeberg (1909–1986). Their marriage was dissolved in 1947. She was the mother of the film director and screenwriter Pål Løkkeberg (1934–1998).She made her stage debut at Den Nationale Scene in 1930 as \"Viola\" in Shakespeare's play Twelfth Night. During her career, she worked for various theatres, including Det Nye Teater (1931–38), Nationaltheatret (1935), Trøndelag Teater (1945–48), Riksteatret (1949–51), Folketeatret (1952–59), Oslo Nye Teater (1959–68) and Teatret Vårt in Molde (1972–74).

She is a young woman of Messaline. In the beginning, Viola is found shipwrecked on the shores of Illyria and separated from her twin brother, not knowing whether he is alive or dead, the Sea Captain tells her that this place is ruled by the Duke Orsino, who is in love with Countess Olivia. Viola wants to serve her, but, finding this impossible, she has the Sea Captain dress her up like a eunuch, so she can serve the Duke instead.\nViola chooses the name Cesario and secures a position as a page working for the Duke. He then entrusts Cesario (Viola) to express his love for Olivia, without knowing that Viola had begun to fall in love with him. When Viola hears this she is heartbroken but listens reluctantly. Cesario continues to pass messages back and forth between the Duke and Olivia, but this eventually places her in somewhat of a quandary: she is forced by duty to do her best to plead Orsino's case to Olivia, but an internal conflict of interest arises when she falls in love with Orsino, and Olivia, believing her to be male, falls in love with her. Upon receiving a ring from Olivia's steward, Viola contemplates the love triangle her disguise has created, admitting only time can solve it.\nWhen Sebastian, Viola's lost twin, arrives alive and well in Illyria with a pirate named Antonio, the chaos of mistaken identity ensues because of their remarkably similar looks, only made more similar due to Viola dressing up as a male. The absurdity of the identity crisis builds until Sebastian and Viola as Cesario meet for the first time, and eventually recognise one another. Olivia and Sebastian have already been secretly married, as she mistook him for Cesario, and Sebastian, ignorant of the foregoing love triangle, was simply entranced by a beautiful woman. Ultimately then, given what he has witnessed, Orsino admits that he will no longer pursue Olivia, agreeing to love her as his sister, and decides to take Viola as his wife once she quits her disguise.\nAlthough Viola is the play's protagonist, her true name is not spoken by any character—including herself—until the final scene of the play (Act 5, scene 1).\n\nArt and stage depictions\nCirca 1771 Francis Wheatley used actress Elizabeth Younge as a model to paint Viola in Act III, Scene 4 after she and Sir Andrew have drawn swords (painting top-right).\n\nWilliam Hamilton painted the confrontation between Olivia and Viola circa 1797: in Act V, Scene 1 Olivia believes Viola (dressed as Cesario) to be Sebastian (Viola's twin brother) who she has just married. After Viola denies any knowledge, incredulous Olivia asks the priest to confirm they were married just two hours prior.Walter Howell Deverell used model Elizabeth Siddal in his 1850 painting, showing Viola as Cesario looking longingly at Duke Orsino.\n\nIn the mid-19th century Frederick Richard Pickersgill painted a few scenes, including: in Act 1, Scene 4 after the character Viola is shipwrecked, when she cross-dresses as Cesario, enters the service of Duke Orsino as his page and falls in love with him; and in Act 3, Scene 1 when Olivia declares her love for Cesario (1859 painting).\n\nIn the 20th century German actress Lucie Höflich played Viola in Was ihr wollt (Twelfth Night in German) at the Deutsches Theater in Berlin.Tallulah Bankhead played Viola in a 1937 radio broadcast of the play.Eddie Redmayne made his professional stage debut as Viola for Shakespeare's Globe at the Middle Temple Hall in 2002.In 2009, Anne Hathaway played Viola in the Shakespeare in the Park production of Twelfth Night in Central Park, directed by David Sullivan.\n\nFilm representations\nTwelfth Night (1910) – Directed by Eugene Mullin – Viola: Florence Turner\nTwelfth Night (1937) – Director N/A – Viola: Dorothy Black\nTwelfth Night (1939) – Directed by Michel Saint Denis – Viola: Peggy Ashcroft\nTwelfth Night (1957) [TV] – Directed by David Greene – Viola: Rosemary Harris\nTwelfth Night (1957) – Directed by Caspar Wrede – Viola: Dilys Hamlett\nTwelfth Night (1969) – Directed by John Sichel – Viola: Joan Plowright\nTwelfth Night (1974) – Directed by David Giles – Viola: Janet Suzman\nTwelfth Night (1980) [TV] – Directed by John Gorrie – Viola: Felicity Kendal\nTwelfth Night (1987) – Directed by Neil Armfield – Viola: Gillian Jones\nTwelfth Night or What You Will (1988) – Directed by Kenneth Branagh of the Royal Shakespeare Company/produced for television by Thames Television – Viola: Frances Barber\nTwelfth Night, or What You Will (1988)– Directed by Paul Kafno – Viola: Frances Barber\nTwelfth Night (1992) – [Animated Tales] – Directed by Mariya Muat – Viola: Fiona Shaw\nTwelfth Night (1996) – Directed by Trevor Nunn – Viola: Imogen Stubbs\nTwelfth Night, or What You Will (1998) [TV] – Directed by Nicholas Hytner – Viola: Helen Hunt\nTwelfth Night, or What You Will (2003) – Directed by Tim Supple – Viola: Parminder Nagra\nShe's the Man (2006) – Directed by Andy Fickman – Viola: Amanda Bynes (Inspired by Twelfth Night)\nPassage 8:\nGustav Thomassen\nGustav Thomassen (16 February 1862 – 6 May 1929) was a Norwegian stage actor and theatre director.\n\nBiography\nThomassen was born in Bergen, Norway.
