Dressing for the room
Most guests choose smart evening wear rather than daytime clothes, in keeping with a hall of carved gold and crimson boxes.
Arriving with time to spare
Arrive with enough time to find your box and settle in before the hall fills, rather than right at the advertised start time.
Finding the theatre after dark
The Cuvilliés Theatre is reached from Residenzstraße 1, a short walk from Odeonsplatz in Munich's old town.
What to bring
A ticket confirmation on your phone and a form of ID cover most of what you'll need for the evening.
After the concert
The concert runs close to two hours; plan the rest of your evening in central Munich around a finish roughly two hours after your start time.
