Staatstheater am Gärtnerplatz
The Staatstheater am Gärtnerplatz in Munich is a vibrant hub for opera, operetta, musicals, and dance, located in the heart of the city’s Isarvorstadt district.

Over the decades, the theatre has evolved into one of Germany’s most active musical stages, hosting over 200 performances each season. Its repertoire ranges from beloved classics to bold contemporary productions, reflecting a commitment to accessibility and artistic excellence. Following extensive renovations completed in 2017, the theatre now combines historic charm with modern technical capabilities. With its welcoming atmosphere and diverse programming, the Gärtnerplatztheater continues to enchant audiences of all ages, offering a dynamic cultural experience that celebrates Munich’s rich theatrical heritage.
