Bayerische Staatsoper Recordings

In May 2021, the new in-house label of the Bayerische Staatsoper was launched to chronicle the excellence, diversity and tradition of one of the world’s most renowned opera houses.
The annals of the Bayerische Staatsoper and the Bayerisches Staatsorchester stretch back nearly 500 years, cultural institutions whose tradition spans European musical history almost entirely. In past decades, the opera house and orchestra have established themselves among the best in the world, in particular through their collaboration with conductors such as Wolfgang Sawallisch, Carlos Kleiber, Zubin Mehta and Kirill Petrenko. Against this backdrop, the opportunity has been seized to take current and older highlights from the large repertoire, catalogue them on an exclusive in-house label and make them available to a wider audience.
With the launch of Bayerische Staatsoper Recordings (BSOrec) selected current opera productions and concerts as well as notable archive recordings will be released in audio and/or audio-visual format.
