Kilden Performing Arts Centre
Kilden teater- og konserthus
A waterfront performing arts centre completed in 2012, with a wave-shaped oak façade reaching toward the quay, a modern landmark of Kristiansand.
Designed by the Finnish firm ALA, Kilden Performing Arts Centre has a single outward-curving wall of oak panels that runs from inside the building all the way to the harbour square. The centre houses a concert hall, an opera house and a theatre, and is home to the Sørlandet Symphony Orchestra, with regular operas, musicals and popular concerts. Even without a performance, you can visit the foyer and watch the sunset from the steps by the sea. Right next door is the Kunstsilo.
