What is it about?

The musical theatre course at the Bayerische Theaterakademie August Everding teaches all the basic practical and theoretical skills of the musical theatre profession. Due to the masterful combination of singing, dancing and acting, which make up the musical genre, the course requires a high level of commitment, energy and stamina.

Due to a possible interlinking in the 6th semester, both courses can be studied in a total of eight semesters, i.e. in four years.

Cooperation Partner

The Musical course is part of the cooperation model of the Bayerische Theaterakademie August Everding and the University of Music and Theatre Munich.
The training takes place in the rooms of the Theaterakademie in the Prinzregententheater in Munich.

Hochschule für Musik und Theater München

Further partners include

“Artistic boundaries? We don't know any.
Musical demands and encourages a unique perspective that constantly needs to be lifted, shifted and readjusted. Our challenge: there are no style boundaries in musicals, everything flows with, next to and into each other. Vocal lines from operetta, Broadway, pop and jazz meet with dance figures from tap, modern, jazz, hip-hop and with lyrics from Wedekind to Brecht to ABBA.”
Prof. Marianne Larsen
Head of the Musical course at the Bayerische Theaterakademie August Everding
