Munich opera

I'm visiting Munich soon and in other cities I've loved the tours of the opera house... vienna, budapest etc.
I know munich has a beautiful opera house.
Does anyone know if tours are given for visitors?

Thanks for your help!

The Munich Opera house is between the Maximillianplatz and the Residence, very east to visit. They do offer tours, but I'd suggest taking in a performance if possible. They do have other offerings besides opera.

Hopefully, "soon" is not in August. The Bavarian State Opera will conclude the current saison on July 31 with the last performance of the Meistersinger (to my delight got tickets for it) and will be closed all of August. Tours will resume only on Sept 21.

@sra019,

Very glad you said that regarding the fact that they do not do tours in August.
I am hoping the Vienna Opera house does not close its tours, as well, for August.

@daisydrum:
It's my understanding that the Vienna State Opera offers tours throughout August and there's only a break of a few days at the end of August / begin of September. Enjoy, you will like it!
