Are the oboe and the flute in the same key?

Are the oboe and the flute in the same key?

Yes, they are, and can often play the same music. Oboes and flutes are pitched in C and play using the treble clef.

Flute can play notes that are above the range of the oboe, which sometimes limits the oboists ability to play flute music.
