The Bayerische Theaterakademie August Everding (Bavarian Theatre Academy August Everding) at the Prinzregententheater in Munich, was founded by August Everding in 1993. [1] [2] The academy offers theatrical students nine different programs and through the cooperation of three professionally equipped theaters (Prinzregententheater, Akademietheater, and Akademiestudio), it is the largest training center for stage professions in Germany. [1]
In this theater for teaching and learning combinations of both theoretical and practical methods make up the courses for acting, directing, singing/musical theater, musicals, drama, stage presence and costume design, makeup and theater, film and television criticism. The students complete their studies, depending on the various courses, with a Bachelor or Diploma.
Cooperation partners are the Hochschule für Musik und Theater München, the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich, and University of Television and Film Munich in which students are enrolled depending on the course.
Moreover, there are production partnerships with the three state theaters in Munich (Residenz Theatre, Bavarian State Opera, and Staatstheater am Gärtnerplatz), the Bayerischer Rundfunk, the Munich Radio Orchestra, the Munich Chamber Orchestra, the Neue Hofkapelle München and Bavarian, national and international theaters and festivals.
On average, the students participate in over 50 productions per academic year. Tickets for performances are available through the central ticket office of the Bavarian state theaters.

Klaus Zehelein is a German dramaturge. He was president of the Munich Bayerische Theaterakademie August Everding. Zehelein is also president of the association of German theatres, Deutscher Bühnenverein. For fifteen years, from 1991 until 2006, Zehelein was artistic director of the Staatsoper Stuttgart. Critic Gerhard Rohde, summing up Zehelein's theatre work at the Stuttgart opera, says "Zehelein does not view opera as a culinary phenomenon. For him opera is an extremely complex matter, where all arts – as well as social, philosophical, historic, utopic and other aspects – unite. This complexity of opera merits being perceived, being seen, being experienced; thus all works that end up performed on stage, are rigorously analyzed beforehand. He who says this results in thinned-out, merely sophisticated opera performances, missed out substantially in the Zehelein-Era in Stuttgart."
