Munich, National Theatre

The Bayerische Staatsoper (Bavarian State Opera) is an opera company based in Munich, Germany in existence since 1653. Its orchestra is the Bavarian State Orchestra. While opera performances are held in the Prinzregententheater completed in 1901, the Company's home base is the Nationaltheater Muenchen on Max-Joseph-Platz.

Sir Peter Jonas became the Staatsoper Staatsintendant (General Director) in 1993, the first British Intendant of any major German speaking Opera House. Since 1998 Zubin Mehta served as music director of the Bavarian State Opera and Bavarian State Orchestra. He was succeeded by Kent Nagano in 2006.
