Odense Teater is a theater in the city of Odense in Denmark. It dates back to 1796, which makes it Denmark's second-oldest theater. It is one of the country's three main theaters.

History

Odense Teater used to be at Sortebrødre Torv, where Hans Christian Andersen started as a writer.

It is notable in theatrical history for staging the première of Henrik Ibsen's first contemporary realist drama The Pillars of Society on 14 November 1877.[1]

Since 1914, the theater has been in Jernbanegade along with the King's Gardens and the Funen's Art Museum.
