At times exclusively concerned with operetta, in recent years there have also been productions of opera, musicals and ballet.

The opening performance was a Prologue followed by an allegorical festive play (Festspiel) by Hermann Schmid, Was wir wollen (What we want), with music by Georg Kremplsetzer [de].

[6] The house, intended to show a different repertory than the court theatre,[5] met with financial problems, under frequently changing directors.

[8] In 1913, the house was rebuilt by Eugen Drollinger [de], who designed a new approach by the audience to the tiers, and installed more loges.

Magda Schneider appeared at the end of the 1920s, complaining that she had to perform up to 48 times a month for a laughable salary ("für eine lächerliche Gage bis zu achtundvierzig mal im Monat auf der Bühne").

[13] Some Possen and Volksstücke were presented until the 1930s, when the Nazi regime banned performances by Jewish writers, librettists and composers, and demanded that the theatre serve as a venue exclusively for operettas, as the operetta was an excellent means of familiarizing the ordinary citizen with the theater arts ("ausschließlich zur Aufführungsstätte von Operetten, weil… die Operette ein sehr wesentliches Mittel ist, um den Volksgenossen an die Theaterkunst heranzuführen").

Fischer showed a new style, influenced by Berlin revues and filmed operettas, with mass scenes, opulent staging and fast action.

Eine Fahrt ins Blaue, a Lustspieloperette composed by Bernhard Stimmler and Carl Michalski, premiered on 18 May 1942, presenting the new style.

[2] Shortly after the war, performances were held at a Schornstraße location, and the restored theatre was reopened[2] on 19 June 1948, playing Eine Nacht in Venedig by Johann Strauss.

[17] The theatre played mainly popular works, including Millöcker's Der Bettelstudent, Abraham's Viktoria und ihr Husar, Kálmán's Die Csárdásfürstin with Sári Barabás in the title role, and Gräfin Mariza, Zeller's Der Vogelhändler, and Lehár's Das Land des Lächelns, with Elisabeth Biebl as Mi and Harry Friedauer as Gustl.

[20] Loewe's My Fair Lady was performed in 1984, staged by August Everding and with Cornelia Froboess as Eliza Doolittle.
