Cuvilliés-Theater

The much admired old Residenz theater - Europa's most beautiful rococo theater - was built between 1751 and 1753 by the builder Francois Cuvilliés on the orders of Electoral Prince Max III. Joseph. It was completely destroyed during the war. The interior furnishing was saved however as it had been put into storage. The new Residenz Theater was built on the surviving foundations in 1951. In the Apothekentrakt of the Residenz the Cuvillés-Theater was rebuilt in all its glory. The repertoire includes mostly opera and ballet.
