About the place

The National Theatre on Max-Joseph-Platz houses the Bavarian State Opera, the Bavarian State Orchestra, and the Bavarian State Ballet.

The National Theatre stands on Max-Joseph-Platz as a historic opera house. The institution houses the Bavarian State Opera, the Bavarian State Orchestra, and the Bavarian State Ballet together. Long-term residents experience the plaza as a working arts venue rather than a monument, where nightly rehearsals and staged productions shape the rhythm of central pedestrian transit throughout the operational season.
