100 kroner


The 100 kroner note is of opera singer Kirsten Flagstad (1895-1962).
Behind the portrait is a motive based on the main auditorium of the Norwegian Opera.


On the back is the ground plan of the Folketeater building in Oslo. It was used as
cinema and theatre until the Opera took over the premises in in 1959.

I mean it was used as a theater until 1959, then the opera moved in...
