Seeing it is a compelling reason to visit Iceland in the off-season. I've seen shows on the Main Stage, in the Black Box and concerts in the Cellar. It doesn't matter if you can't understand Icelandic- the acting and set design is always very compelling, I can't recommend it enough (and I will be attending again next October!)Professor Battyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09802171986501104683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8129085.post-67647433040041381232012-05-28T23:18:35.099+00:002012-05-28T23:18:35.099+00:00Hello Anon, glad you are enjoying Iceland Eyes!
...Hello Anon, glad you are enjoying Iceland Eyes! <br /><br />Yes, the photo of the Main Stage is deceptive, probably due to the angle and the fact that I took it from up in the balcony. I copied this quote from the National Theater website that I linked in the post:<br /><br />"Today the theatre has four separate venues: the Main Stage (Stóra sviðið, 500 seats), the Black Box (Kassinn, 140 seats), the Small Stage for Children (Kúlan, 80 seats) and The Theatre Cellar (Leikhúskjallarinn, (100-120 seats)."<br /><br />: )Iceland Eyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10970069641161279316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8129085.post-85109215386732172062012-05-28T21:52:09.753+00:002012-05-28T21:52:09.753+00:00Hi Maria!

The theater looks rather small at first, yet the picture suggests that there are at least 200 seats in those first 10 rows. So perhaps it is quite big. Do you know how many seats it has? Since Iceland is so small, I wonder if they built it for 1,500 patrons, or only 500, or somewhere in between.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
