Ballet 2

For ballet lovers and first-timers alike 

Never been to the ballet before? Well, this is the performance for you! And if you have been to the ballet and enjoyed it, you’re in for a real treat. The Norwegian National Ballet 2 (NNB2) is presenting excerpts from the most popular classical ballet repertoire – as well as newer work created by some of the dance world's most renowned choreographers. 

The Norwegian National Ballet 2 

Performing on stage are the dancers of the NNB2. The 14 talented performers range in age from 18 to 21 and come from six  different countries. Since its establishment in 2015, the company has nurtured the dancing stars of tomorrow and served as a recruiting ground for the Norwegian National Ballet. 

When NNB2 danced its first performance in the spring of 2016, it was nominated for the Norwegian Dance Critics Award. In addition to its own performances and touring activities, the company also contributes to Norwegian National Ballet productions. 

The company is led by Jahn Magnus Johansen. This initiative has been made possible by Talent Norge AS, coupled with generous funding from Sparebankstiftelsen DNB, the Tom Wilhelmsen Foundation, Norsk Tipping and Scatec Innovation.
