No heritage stage machinery Originally the theatre was located where the present (New) Residence Theatre stands; after its destruction in World War II, the theatre was rebuilt in a wing of the Residence. Though the theatre was bombed during World War II, the carved and gilded boxes had been dismantled and stored for security. Afterwards the Residenztheater was meticulously recreated in the 1950s. The theatre was again renovated and technically modernised from 2004–2008. (English)

Named after its architect François de Cuvilliés, this was once the court theater. The interior has been restored to its original baroque glory, decorated in majestic red and gold. The theater has four floors and each has 14 box theaters or special seats which encloses the ground floor in a horseshoe shape. Nestled in the historic ambiance, the Bavarian Drama Company shows ambitious and modern interpretations of old and new pieces. (English)
