The Bayerische Staatsoper has introduced its own official streaming service, Staatsoper.tv.

In a recent statement, the company revealed that this new platform will serve as a gateway to the world, offering audiences across the globe direct access to the outstanding performances from the Munich Nationaltheater. Whether it’s grand opera, world-class ballet, or acclaimed symphonic works, Staatsoper.tv allows viewers to enjoy a curated selection of live broadcasts as well as on-demand content. Additionally, the service includes historic footage, concert performances, and innovative new digital formats.

Further elaborating on the launch, the company noted that Staatsoper.tv consolidates all video and audio content from the Bayerische Staatsoper, Bayerisches Staatsballett, and Bayerisches Staatsorchester into a single, centralized platform.
