In the page's words:

The tradition of the Munich Opera Festival dates back to 1875, when a "Festive Summer" was organized for the first time. This tradition will continue under the directorship of Serge Dorny. The Munich Opera Festival 2025 will bring together all new productions of the season. The two opera premieres of the Munich Opera Festival - Don Giovanni by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Pénélope by Gabriel Fauré - present a reinterpreted classic of the repertoire as well as a French opera that has never before been performed at the Bavarian State Opera. One focus of the Munich Opera Festival 2025 is on myths and their transformation over the centuries. The program includes Dido and Aeneas ... Erwartung and Pénélope, two works that are directly linked to the Trojan War, the greatest battle in ancient history, as well as The Love of Danae by Richard Strauss, in which the characters are Greek gods and mythical figures. Antonín Dvořák's Rusalka features the mythological figure of the same name from East Slavic lore, while Richard Wagner's Lohengrin and Das Rheingold deal with Germanic and Nordic myths on stage. Don Giovanni can also be experienced as a live audiovisual broadcast on Marstallplatz as part of Opera for All during the Munich Opera Festival 2025. Numerous chamber concerts, recitals and baroque concerts round off the program. The ballet evening SPHÄREN.03 | León & Lightfoot will also celebrate its premiere during the Munich Opera Festival with contemporary ballets by choreographers of the younger generation. The Bayerisches Staatsballett will also be reviving this season's new production of La Sylphide by Pierre Lacotte as well as Romeo and Juliet and Onegin.
