The State Theatre at Gartnerplatz is an opera and performance company based in Munich, Germany. Founded in 1865, the organisation produces a variety of stage works as a state theatre of Bavaria. Its regular repertoire primarily features opera, along with operetta and musicals.
The institution maintains its own ensemble of principal singers, a chorus, a resident symphony orchestra, and a dance company. The theatre’s dance ensemble focuses on contemporary dance and modern dance productions. Throughout the annual season, the company performs classical operas alongside newer works and newly commissioned pieces. The organisation presents these productions mainly at its resident venue in the city centre.
The company organises educational and outreach programmes for various age groups in the local community. This programming includes a children’s choir and youth theatre initiatives. The institution also provides workshops, open rehearsals for schools, and special events designed to introduce younger audiences to opera, music, and dance.
