Richard Strauss live in Munich

Experience Richard Strauss live on July 10th

On July 10, 2026, a concert dedicated to the works of Richard Strauss will be held at the Cuvilliés Theatre in Munich, Germany. Strauss (1864-1949) was a leading German composer of the late Romantic and early modern eras. His musical style is characterized by opulent orchestration, extended harmonic language, and a penchant for complex psychological portrayals within his operas and tone poems. He frequently explored themes of love, death, and power, often with a strong emphasis on lyrical melody. While known for large-scale orchestral works like *Also sprach Zarathustra* and operas such as *Salome* and *Der Rosenkavalier*, his concert repertoire also includes pieces like the *Oboe Concerto* and *Four Last Songs*.

The Cuvilliés Theatre holds significant historical importance as one of the oldest theatres in Munich. Originally commissioned by Maximilian III Joseph and designed by François Cuvilliés the Elder, it opened in 1753 as a court theatre. Its Rococo interior remains remarkably preserved, representing a high point of Bavarian courtly artistry.
