Munich's sweet melody

Munich is a great city for music lovers. Book your opera tickets for the Bayerische Staatsoper (Nationaltheater), for the Philharmonie, for the Prinzregententheater or the Staatstheater am Gärtnerplatz!

Built between 1811 and 1819, the Nationaltheater is one of the largest theatres in Germany. Destroyed by a fire in 1823, it was rebuilt between 1957 and 1963. It is among the most beautiful theatres is Europe.

The Bayerische Staatsoper welcomes great performers and magnificent lyrical performances each year. Do not miss the Munich Opera Festival (Münchner Opernfestspiele) which always offers a great program!

The Philharmonie, at the Gasteig, was inaugurated on November 10^th, 1985 by Munich's Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Sergiu Celibidache. Located in the cultural centre of Gasteig, the Philharmonie has 2 400 seats and is inspired by Paris' Centre Pompidou and London's Barbican.

Built between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the Prinzregententheater used to be destined for Wagner's operas. The theatre has a typical 1900's architecture. The Prinzregententheater was used to replace the Nationaltheater after WWII due to the heavy damage caused by the Allied bombings.

Nowadays, the program mainly includes baroque operas.

The Staatstheater am Gärtnerplatz was inaugurated with Jeu de Fête and Ce que nous voulons by M. Schmidt. The theatre first specialised in the popular repertoire, but quickly went bankrupt. Ludwig II of Bavaria bought the theatre and introduced J.Strauss', Karl Millöcker and Offenbach's operettas. The Staatstheater am Gärtnerplatz is in the heart of a popular district.

Munich has a lot to offer! Start your journey by visiting the Residence, which housed the court of Maximilian I. Admire the typical architecture of the seventeenth century and visit the Antiquarium which houses the collections of Duke Albrecht V. Another must-see: the Nymphenburg Castle! This baroque building is emblematic of Munich! Famous for Ludwig I's Gallery of Beauties, the castle is also surrounded by a nice park with four pavilions.

Check out the new city hall! This building inspired by neo-gothic style is known for its chiming clock, decorated with enamelled characters which move three times a day. The summit of the tower offers a splendid panorama of Munich and its surroundings.

The Frauenkirsche is recognisable by its onion domes and its gothic style. The red brick building has two 99 meters-high towers. The "Devil's footprint" is displayed at the entrance.

If you feel motivated, you may walk up the 300 stairs leading to St Peter's Church. This church is the oldest one in the city.
