History

The parent ensemble of the company was founded in 1653, under Electress consort Princess Henriette Adelaide of Savoy, when Giovanni Battista Maccioni's L'arpa festante was performed in the court theatre.[1] In 1753, the Residence Theatre (Cuvilliés Theatre) was opened as a major stage.[2] While opera performances were also held in the Prinzregententheater (completed in 1901),[3] the company's home base is the Nationaltheater München on Max-Joseph-Platz.[4]

In 1875, the Munich Opera Festival took place for the first time. Sir Peter Jonas became the general manager in 1993,[5] the first British general manager of any major German-speaking opera house. In 2008, Nikolaus Bachler became Intendant (general manager) of the opera company, and Kirill Petrenko became Generalmusikdirektor (GMD) in 2013. In 2014, the Bavarian State Opera received the Opernhaus des Jahres (opera house of the year) award from Opernwelt magazine.[6] In October 2015, the company announced the extensions of the contracts of Bachler and of Petrenko through August 2021.[7][8] Both Bachler and Petrenko stood down from their respective posts at the close of the 2020–2021 season.[9]

In March 2018, the company announced the appointments of Template:Ill as its next general manager, and of Vladimir Jurowski as its next GMD, both effective with the 2021–2022 season.[10] In June 2024, the company announced the extension of Dorny's contract as Intendant through 2031, and of Jurowski's contract as GMD through the close of the 2027–2028 season, at which time Jurowski is expected to stand down as GMD.[11]

The company received the "Opera Company of the Year" award at the 2018 and 2023 International Opera Awards.[12][13]

Among the company's noted recordings are the 1989 video recording of Wagners' Der Ring des Nibelungen conducted by Wolfgang Sawallisch, which won Best Video in the 1993 Gramophone Classical Music Awards.[15] The 1973 recording of Richard Strauss's Der Rosenkavalier, conducted by Carlos Kleiber and released in 2008, was highly acclaimed and selected as Editor's Choice in the April 2009 issue of Gramophone Magazine.[16]

At the International Opera Awards, the Bayerische Staatsoper won the 2018 the Opera Company Award.[17] Their recording of Handel's Agrippina, directed by Barrie Kosky from the Royal Opera House, has been shortlisted for the 2018 Opera Awards. [18]

In 1977, a recording by the Bavarian State Opera was selected by NASA to be included on the Voyager Golden Record, a gold-plated copper record that was sent into space on the Voyager space craft. The record contained sounds and images which had been selected as examples of the diversity of life and culture on Earth. In the recording, soprano Edda Moser sings "Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen" from Mozart's opera, The Magic Flute, conducted by Sawallisch.[19][20][21]
