If you were a fan of operas, Munich Opera Festival is certainly a gala you won’t want to miss in the festival season. With its long history of being an operatic landmark of the German Bavarian State, the festival provides some of the world’s most authoritative interpretations of classical repertoires.

This year, you will be glad to listen to the festival premiere of Olivier Messiaen’s Saint François d’Assise staged by performance artist Hermann Nitsch this year. More operatic highlights include Bellini’s I Capuleti e I Montecchi, Mozart’s Mitridate, Re di Ponto, Donizetti’s L’Elisir d’Amore and Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde.
