National Theatre Munich, Opera house in Münchner Altstadt, Germany.
The National Theatre Munich stands as a neoclassical structure at Max-Joseph-Platz with a capacity of 2,100 seats and a stage area of 2,500 square meters.
Karl von Fischer designed the first theatre in 1811, but after a fire in 1823, Leo von Klenze rebuilt it with modifications before its destruction in World War II.
The theatre serves as the primary venue for the Bavarian State Opera, Bavarian State Orchestra, and Bavarian State Ballet, presenting performances throughout the year.
The National Theatre offers guided tours at 2 PM on most days, with tickets available at the Opera Shop located across from the main entrance.
The theatre contains a recording featured on NASA's Voyager Golden Record, specifically Edda Moser performing an aria from Mozart's The Magic Flute.
