Why go
Karol Szymanowski's opera König Roger is staged inside the underground galleries of the Egyptian art museum, drawing on a Sicilian-Norman tale and Euripides' Bacchae. The production blends impressionist, expressionist and orientalist colours across a single 90-minute act with no interval. Tickets are sold through München Ticket. The premiere is on 29 August, with further evenings running into mid-September.
