Kammeroper München (Munich Chamber Opera) is an independent ensemble for chamber operas in Munich. The troupe was founded by Christiane Steffens, Christophe Gördes and Carlos Dominguez-Nieto. They have played regularly at the Hubertussaal of Schloss Nymphenburg from 2008, but also use different venues including the Cuvilliés-Theater.
The organisation has engaged young singers to give them the opportunity of stage experience at the beginning of their career.Magnus Reitinger: Große Oper, ganz nah. In: Münchner Merkur, 4 July 2018, trtrieved 27 February 2019. The chamber orchestra players come from Munich stages and orchestras.
