The Bayerische Staatsoper
As the Bayerische Staatsoper we not only look back proudly over a 350-year-old history – we also want to create artistic stimuli, outstanding stagings and socially relevant discussions to enrich our culture scene far beyond the boundaries of Bavaria.

With approximately 600,000 guests and more than 400 events every year, we aim to make an important contribution to Munich’s reputation as one of the most internationally renowned cities of culture. More than 40 operas from five centuries of music and over 20 ballets, from the 19th century to today, are staged in a single season, as are concerts and lieder recitals. With 2,101 seats our venue, Munich’s Nationaltheater, is Germany’s biggest opera house and one of Europe’s most beautiful theatres.

In 2021, Serge Dorny has taken over the artistic direction of the house as State Artistic Director. In addition to the continuation of the internationally renowned Munich Opera Festival, two further festivals, the Septemberfest and Ja, Mai - Das neue Festival, will set new artistic accents and promote the opening of the house to the city.

As a three-division house, the Bavarian State Opera has its own orchestra - the Bavarian State Orchestra- and a ballet company - the Bavarian State Ballet. Vladimir Jurowski, as the new General Music Director, has also been in charge of the Bavarian State Orchestra since 2021. The Bavarian State Ballet has been led by ballet director Laurent Hilaire since 2022.
