Art & Culture – Munich

Munich's great orchestras, including three major world-class orchestras, guarantee unbridled listening pleasure. A high point of the music calendar is the celebrated opera festival in July. At the Classic Open Air festival at Odeonsplatz, music and an Italian atmosphere combine to form a symphony for all the senses. The Bavarian State Opera is the world's most prolific opera house with 350 performances a year!

Music

Munich’s scene covers the entire musical spectrum from classical music, New Music and chamber music to the latest pop and rock highlights and jazz. In May the Long Night of Music offers a musical cross section in some 100 venues – bars, cultural institutes or churches (23.05.09). The star-studded triumvirate of conductors, consisting of Christian Thielemann at the Munich Philharmonic, Mariss Jansons at the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra and Kent Nagano at the Bavarian State Orchestra, guarantees the finest musical enjoyment.
