The Performing Arts

Nowhere else in Europe, other than London and Paris, will you find so many musical and theatrical performances. The good news is the low cost of seats -- so count on indulging yourself and going to several concerts. You'll get good tickets if you're willing to pay anywhere from 10€ to 45€. Pick up a Monatsprogramm for information and schedules.

For events that sell out and popular events for which the number of available tickets is reduced by season tickets and long-term subscriptions (such as the opera's summer festival performances), you'll have to go to the box office -- organizers of these events tend not to cooperate with outside ticket agencies. But for virtually everything else in Munich, you'd be well advised to head for München Tickets (tel. 089/54-81-81-81), where you can purchase tickets to cultural, entertainment, or sporting events.

Opera & Classical Music

Munich is home to the Munich Radio Orchestra (Münchner Rundfunkorchester) and the Bavarian Radio Orchestra (Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks). For ticket information, contact the events office of the Bayerischer Rundfunk-Veranstaltungsbüro, Arnulfstrasse 44, Rundfunkplatz 1 (tel. 089/55-80-80; fax 089/59-00-23-26), open Monday to Friday from 8:30am to 6pm.

Major Theaters & Concert Halls

There are theaters and performance halls all over town. Concerts are given in the Herkulessaal (in the Residenz, Hofgarten; tel. 089/29-06-71). The Staatstheater am Gärtnerplatz (tel. 089/20-24-11) offers a varied program of opera, operetta, ballet, and musicals.
