Opera performances in Munich

I have never been to an opera and would love to go for one but a really nice interesting one. I have no clue where to get information or even where these are held in Munich. anyone has a clue?

What are the upcoming programs? How much do they cost?
would anyone else like to go with?

I would love to go but it would have to be in the next week or else I cant got until September. (Im going to be gone)

But the idea is great...I know a few people have done this before...

Staatstheater Munich

if you click on 'schedule' it details shows in further locations in Munich.
enjoy!

I heard that if you go to the theater half an hour before the shows starts you can get really really reduced tickets...does anyone know about this? I've never done it.

Profundo may be the guy to ask, since he sings at the Opera house. He also posts lots about operas, if you want to do a search.

PM Profundo. He should know.

I dont have a clue when and where this is..so once we decide on a good event then we can decide..

Romeo and Juliet was supposed to be a good one but it was on the 17th of July..

I just saw reduced prices for students that cool! something like €8 thats surely worth it

I suggest going on a trip to Verona for an Opera there. I did this with a bus, two nights hotel and two operas for 100 €. There are great deals, and there is something special about sitting in an outdoor colosseum...and you can see Juliet's balcony if you are interested.

WOWOW for 100€ thats a perfect deal but how in world u get to that package?

deb, I'd be up for an Verona Trip... can pack a few in the car and head down for an overnight.

For München operas check out. Then click on Spielplan and then Juli.

Bayerische Staatoper

shaggy your a saviour when it comes to this! but how do i find out about these verona events?? anyone has any idea?

Verona Opera Official Website

Operas here are quite pricey. Fortunately most people buy tickets months in advance and are left with extra tickets due to cancellations. If you go on your own and smile pretty someone will usually approach you and give you an extra ticket.

Lighter Opera for beginners is anything Mozart. Entfuehrung aus der Serail is a good choice but I believe that's over.

Die Zauberfloete is a perfect introduction to Operetta and is playing on July 23 and 25.

Gounod's Faust would be another suggestion.

Orpheus and Eurydice is a beautiful story but I think Glucks adaptation is a bit heavy as will be Wagner's Meistersinger although fantastic if you're up for it.

Please note these are only my opinions according to my taste.

There is a second show this sunday, so you still have a chance to get tickets! I will be at that one...

Profundo has fantastic stage presence and is one of the most powerful voices I have ever heard, so if you can get tickets it will be worth just to see him perform. I believe he is playing the duke in Romeo and Juilet. Very excited to see this.

Shaggy, if you have more sitzplatz, count me in with Katrin. Or we could drive if there is a larger group. I actually did the bus trip from Nürnberg, two years ago. I will find out the company, but it is the similar bus reisen that have the ski trips in winter. No frills, arrive and watch the Opera, and then you have the late evening to walk around, and the next day to explore Verona. You also are right near Lake Garda, which is also a nice excursion. It was beautiful; I saw Tosca (great) and Aida (overdone), but the best part was the surroundings in the colloseum!
