Normoria – The Cultural House in Kristiansund

The Opera in Kristiansund, Nordmøre Museum, Kristiansund Library, and Kristiansund Cultural School are now coming together under one roof. In the heart of the music theater city of Kristiansund, we are building a cultural center of nearly 12,000 square meters. This building will be bustling with activities most of the day, year-round, and will house teaching and performance spaces for students at the cultural school and the opera's ballet center, rehearsal rooms and workshops for the opera's staff, an opera hall, a symphony hall, and a rehearsal hall/black box for a wide audience, modern exhibition facilities, storage and dissemination rooms in the museum, a modern library with a public workshop, and public areas with a café.

The building will be the daily workplace for more than 70 cultural workers from the various institutions, and the operations organization will be an important link between the different actors in the house, collaborating with external professional actors, volunteers, and a diverse audience.

The building will be ready for use in June 2025.
