The Music and Theatre College looks back over a long history: established in 1830 as a school for singing, it became in 1867 at Richard Wagners initiative the Royal Bavarian Music School and was privately financed by King Ludwig II. The college was taken over by the state in 1874 and in 1924 the name was changed to the Music Acadamy. After being closed for 2 years because of the destruction of the Odeans building, in 1944 the college moved to it's provisional seat in the Stuck- and Larischvilla then to it's present building in Arcis- and Luisenstraße in 1957. In 1998 it changed it's name again to the College for Music and Theatre.

The college covers 6 study areas streching from composition, church music, music education, string and wind instruments to singing and stage management. There is also a ballett academy and several ensembles which play at college concerts as well as going on national and international tours.
