Seit 1989 ist das Bayerische Staatsballett eine selbstständige künstlerische Institution neben der Staatsoper. 1992 wurde das Haus Nummer 7 am historischen Münchner Platzl bezogen.
Das Haus am Platzl beherbergt vier Proben-Studios, die Direktions- und Verwaltungsbüros, eine physiotherapeutische Abteilung, sowie einen Hort für Kinder von Mitgliedern des Staatsballetts und der Staatsoper. In den Ballettsälen finden gelegentlich auch Ver. anstaltungen statt.

Rehearsal Building at Platzl
The history of the Bavarian State Ballet looks back over more than 350 years. It started with ballet at the Court of the Bavarian Kurfuersten (Dukes), later Kings of Bavaria. After the revolution of 1918 it became the ballet of the Bavarian State Opera.
Since 1989 it is an independent artistic institution. It settled in to the new rehearsal and administration building at the historic Platzl, house number 7, in 1992.
The rehearsal building hosts four studios, administration offices, a physio-therapy department and a kindergarten. Occasionally, various events take place at the studios.
The Bavarian State Ballet's main performance venue is the National Theatre (State Opera i House) nearby at the Max-Joseph-Platz / Maximilianstrasse.

The Bavarian State Ballet (German: Bayerisches Staatsballett) is a professional ballet company in Munich, Germany. It was founded in 1988 by Konstanze Vernon as an independent company. The ballet had previously been part of the Bayerische Staatsoper. In a broader sense, Bavarian State Ballet is sometimes used for the Bavarian State Opera Ballet before 1988. Vernon was the director of the independent company for the first 10 years, succeeded by Ivan Liška. From 2016 to 2022, Igor Zelensky was director of the ballet. In 2022, Laurent Hilaire took over the ballet. The company is formed by international dancers and has a repertory of more than 80 works from Romantic ballet to the 21st century. It is considered as a leading company in Europe.(Submitted on March 29, 2025.)
