Lonely Planet review for Cuvilliés-Theater

Commissioned by Maximilian III in the mid-18th century, François Cuvilliés fashioned one of Europe's finest rococo theatres. Famous for hosting the premiere of Mozart's opera Idomeneo, restoration work in the mid naughties revived the theatre's former glory and its stage once again hosts high-brow musical and operatic performances.

Access is limited to the auditorium where you can take a seat and admire the four tier of loggia, dripping with rococo embellishment, at your leisure.
