Built in 1755 and then rebuilt after a fire this is a gem of a theatre with beautiful ornamental…read morewalls, balconies and amazing huge crystal chandeliers throughout the building. Regal is the best way to describe it and when you get all dressed up you fit right in :-) Acoustics are great, the seats also well set so you can see the stage well and we loved our first experience here. Hard to believe we had not visited here before. A venue for opera, ballet, concerts and symphony they have a series of things on throughout the year. It is a historic opera house, home of the Bavarian State Opera, Bavarian State Orchestra and the Bavarian State Ballet. We went to see the performance of Ana Karenina by Tolstoy as a ballet performed by the Bavarian State Ballet and it was an amazing experience. Would come back here for more anytime. It's a beautiful theatre with such luxurious surroundings :-)

A jaw-droppingly elegant theater that houses one of the finest opera companies in the world. For a…read morecity whose architecture was clearly inspired by the Italian Renaissance, it seems fitting that the focal point of its center be that of an ancient Greco-Roman temple. The crowd is both high-brow and deeply passionate (watch out when Edita Gruberova sings... these well-heeled Müncheners will scream like its a rock concert). While the productions follow the current European trends ("Regietheater" aka "Eurotrash"), the performers themselves span from veteran legends to the hot and up-and-coming. At the interval, don't miss the lovely buffet downstairs, and be sure to try the hedonistic "Rote Grütze" (red summer berries drenched in vanilla sauce). You certainly won't find that at the Met!

I don't know how to describe it (though there are a few pictures on this page), just buy a ticket to some interesting event (there's everything, really), and go! Drinks in the breaks, as usual, sadly no espresso unless you go to the attached restaurant Prinzipal. If you're a lady, either rush out in the intermission to beat the line, or play chicken with the bell at the end of intermission. Or again, head to the basement of restaurant Prinzipal while your male companion buys drinks in their bar...
