Pavilion 21 MINI Opera Space
The pavilion 21 MINI Opera Space is a temporary venue for the Bavarian State Opera on Munich's Marstallplatz.
building
Planned by the Austrian architecture firm Coop Himmelb (l) au founded by Wolf D. Prix and supported by MINI as a private financier, the building was erected on Munich's Marstallplatz in April 2010 and opened on June 24, 2010 for the opera festival . It has a floor area of 560 m² with a length of 38.5 m and a width of 25.5 m, the building height is 12.5 m. The construction costs amounted to 2.1 million euros.
concept
The building was designed so that it can be dismantled at any time and rebuilt elsewhere, within a few days, for other events. Since the dismantled pavilion has a space requirement of 20 sea containers , the effort to move turned out to be too laborious and the respective construction costs of around half a million euros as too expensive, so that the pavilion has only been set up twice. Since then he has been mothballed in the containers in a Regensburg warehouse. Therefore, considerations are currently underway to set up the pavilion somewhere, which has so far failed on a suitable plot of land, or to scrap it.
