![[National Theatre - Munich HDR]
While walking around, keeping the camera safely in my backpack since I was a little bit reluctant to take it out, I saw this building. This was the building that made metake some night shots…
The first theatre was commissioned by King Maximilian 1st of Bavaria and designed by Karl von Fischer, with the Odéon in Paris as antetype. The theatre opened in 1818 with Die Weihe by Ferdinand Fränzl, but was already destroyed by fire in 1823. It was immediately reconstructed and re-opened in 1825. This second theatre, designed by Leo von Klenze, incorporated Neo-Grec features as seen in its portico and triangular pediment.
Although somewhat modified in 1930 to create an enlarged stage area with updated equipment, the second theatre survived until Second World War bombing destroyed it in October 1943.
Based on the original plans by Karl von Fischer, the architect Gerhard Moritz Graubner recreated the original neo-classical 2100 seat theatre. Albeit somewhat enlarged and only the foyer and main staircase retaining their original look, the theatre opened on 22 November 1963 with a performance of Richard Wagner’s Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg.
