Fun, cheeky and full of charm: Here, “Carmen”, “Turandot” and Wagner’s “Ring” are not celebrated with pomp and circumstance, but are woven into an opera program of a different kind in a highly amusing way. The successful production “Operas in Bavarian” has been a fixture on the repertoire for almost 40 years, thanks to the already legendary trio of Conny Glogger, Gerd Anthoff and Michael Lerchenberg. This season, there is a real treat in the performances at the Prinzregententheater: this year, the protagonists are supported by the cabaret artist and parodist Helmut Schleich, the “Kaiser von Schexing”, Dieter Fischer, and – to kick off the season – the “Queen of Cabaret”, Monika Gruber!

Prinzregententheater
The Prinzregententheater, or Prince Regent Theatre, is a theatre and opera house located at 12 Prinzregentenplatz in theBavarian city of Munich, Germany.
Initiated by Ernst von Possart, the theatre was built in the Prinzregentenstrasse as a festival hall for the operas of Richard Wagner near an area where a similar project of King Ludwig II had failed some decades before. Named after Luitpold, Prince Regent of Bavaria the building was designed by Max Littmann and opened 21 August 1901 with a production of "Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg" by Richard Wagner. Like the Bayreuth theatre, the auditorium was designed to Wagner’s specifications, however an amphitheater has replaced the loges.
After the destruction of the Nationaltheater during World War II, the Prinzregententheater housed the Bavarian State Operafrom 1944 to 1963 even though it also suffered damage during the war which was not repaired until 1958. Since its renovation in 1988, the Prinzregententheater, with 1122 seats, has served also for the Bavarian Staatsschauspiel and now houses the Bavarian Theatre Academy founded by August Everding. Another theatre in the building, the Akademietheateror Academy Theatre, seats 300.
The Prince Regent theater is reached very well both by car and by public transportation MVV.
