Riksteatret: The hunt for the Princess

Welcome to a magical adventure world! Join us on a journey packed with exciting surprises, funny characters and unforgettable music.

Forget everything you thought you knew about princes and princesses, kings and witches. "The Hunt for the Princess" is the story of the Princess who longs to follow her own dreams and do what suits her. Why should she do everything the King commands?

Riksteatret offers a heartwarming musical for the whole group. An experience that brings friends and family together for adventurous fun and enchanted magic!

From "The Sound of Music" and "Miss Saigon" at Folketeateret, "Billy Elliot" at Den Nationale Scene, "The Book of Mormon" at Det Norske Teatret, we have secured some of the best we have on today's musical stages.

Fun for anyone who likes to dream away!
Best suited for anyone over the age of six. Welcome to you all.
