Store sal seats 1,304, with a stage 15.8 m wide and 3.5 to 4.5 m deep, an orchestra pit, a hearing loop and wheelchair spaces. Lille sal takes 406 seated or 550 standing on a flat floor; without tiered seating the stage area runs 18.5 by 16 m, and with the seating out there is a 3 by 16 m forestage and a 5 by 12 m main stage, with 8 m from the back wall to the front row and 7.2 m of height over the stage. It too is wheelchair accessible, and is scheduled for refurbishment from May to November 2026. Both halls are hired out for concerts, theatre, ballet, conferences, meetings and courses, and the house publishes full technical specifications in Norwegian and English.
