  4. People of the Theater • After pulling down the first opera house at the Salvatorplatz in 1802, King Max I. Joseph commissioned his architect Carl von Fischer to build a new "royal court and national theatre" at the Max-Joseph-Platz. The neo-classical opera house was built in 1811 - 18 but burned down 5 years later. Fischerdied in 1823 and Leo von Klenze restored the theatre according to the original design only in 2 years.
