USES OF THE THEATER• The theater often
hosts plays, operas, and occasionally concerts.
• The most special event in the theatrical season is the Munich Opera Festival, held every year in the summer. During this festival one performance is shown on a big screen outside of the theatre free of charge. This event is known as "Oper für Alle".
• After pulling down the first opera house at the Salvatorplatz in 1802, King Max I. Joseph commissioned his architect Carl von Fischer to build a new "royal court and national theatre" at the Max-Joseph-Platz. The neo-classical opera house was built in 1811 - 18 but burned down 5 years later. Fischer died in 1823 and Leo von Klenze restored the theatre according to the original design only in 2 years.
