#### Wagner and Strauss made their marks on the largest opera house in Germany, where performers from the Bavarian State Opera are among the regulars.

Visit the National Theatre Munich, an imposing and historic presence on Max Joseph Plaza. The current building is the third incarnation of the theatre and was constructed in 1963 in a neoclassical design. Admire the majestic royal box that stands at the core of the ornate auditorium.

As one of the most distinguished theatres in Germany, the National Theatre Munich was chosen for many premieres, including operatic works by Wagner and Richard Strauss. See one of the musical performances in the glorious theatre, which seats 2,101 spectators. Check the theatre’s website for the busy schedule of ballets, recitals and opera shows. You can purchase tickets to shows in the daytime box office on the Marstallplatz.

Join a guided tour of the theatre for a comprehensive understanding of its history and design. Although regular tours are in German, you can prearrange English tours. Venture backstage on the tour to visit the foyers, the stage house and the dressing room. Follow in the footsteps of acclaimed musicians as you pass through the corridors and stand in the glamorous auditorium.

The initial building was constructed in 1818, taking inspiration from the design of the Odéon in Paris. It burned down a few years later, and the second structure was completed in 1825. Today’s theatre was constructed almost 20 years after the previous one was destroyed during World War II.

The National Theatre Munich is in the heart of the Munich Old Town quarter. Travel by tram to the National Theatre stop outside the historic attraction. Get around the area on foot and visit some of the nearby sights, such as the Kunsthalle München, St. Michael’s Church and the Haus der Kunst.

9.8/10 Exceptional! (13 reviews)

A nice comfortable studio apartment a short walk from the centre of Kitzbuehel. The bed was slightly firmer that we would have chosen, some noise at night from nearby bar but otherwise a very good choice.
