Dear Shareholder
I'm pleased to report that over the past 12 months, the Nuveen exchange-traded
funds continued to perform well and meet their objectives of providing
attractive income and after-tax total returns. As of April 30, 1998,
shareholders were receiving annual current market yields that ranged from 6.25%
to 6.32%. To match these yields, investors in the 31% federal income tax bracket
would have to earn between 9.06% and 9.16% on taxable alternatives.

The declining interest rate environment over the past year had a significant
impact on the funds' performance. As you can see on the chart below, the yield
on the Bond Buyer 40, a representation of the long-term municipal bond market,
fell from 5.89% to 5.39% during the year. The decline had an im pact on the
funds' income levels, and the dividends for all three funds in this report were
adjusted during the year. As interest rates declined, higher-yielding bonds that
were called or sold from the portfolios were replaced with bonds paying today's
lower interest rates. As a result, the funds' dividends were reduced to reflect
the levels of income being earned by the portfolios.

However, the decline in interest rates also had a positive impact on the
funds because many portfolio holdings appreciated in value during the period.
Many of the bonds in the portfolios have higher coupon rates than are available
in today's market, and the value of those bonds increased as rates trended
downward. The price appreciation resulting from this and other factors led to
the funds' strong total returns over the year.


The Economy in Review
The past 12 months were noteworthy for the ongoing performance of the equity
markets, which continued to exhibit remarkable strength. Fixed-income
investments also enjoyed bullish performance, as declining interest rates and
low inflation provided the ideal backdrop for a bond market rally. Much of the
decline in interest rates resulted from expectations that the financial
problems of Asia would restrain the prices of imported goods and reduce foreign
demand for U.S. products and services, thereby keeping inflation at moderate
levels. These inflation expectations were largely fulfilled, as the Consumer
Price Index rose only 1.4% for the 12 months ended April 1998, remaining at one
of its lowest levels in more than 30 years.

In coming months, we will continue to watch closely several key factors
that are likely to affect the future of the economy, including demand for goods
and services, changes in U.S. production capacity, the availability of qualified
employees, and stability of the money supply. While it is still too early for
the full impact of Asia's financial difficulties to show up in U.S. economic
statistics, the potential long-term effect of this crisis on American markets is
of special concern. We expect that the development of these factors will
continue to influence the tone of the fixed-income markets during the remainder
of the year.


Building Better Portfolios
As economic events unfold, we believe that many investors will find
diversification to be an increasingly important investment strategy. An
appropriately diversified portfolio that is invested in a variety of asset
classes that each react differently to changes in the economic environment can
help cushion your portfolio against risk.

Many investors select Nuveen's exchange-traded funds because their emphasis on
dependable tax-free income and attractive after-tax returns makes them ideal for
building and maintaining long-term financial security. These funds can work
together with other Nuveen investments to create the foundation of a
diversified, well-balanced portfolio. Recent studies by Nuveen Research have
demonstrated that balanced portfolios combining municipal bonds and stocks
provided superior after-tax returns and lower levels of risk compared with
blends of stocks and taxable bonds. You and your financial adviser may want to
consider combining your Nuveen municipal bond fund with an invest ment in the
new Nuveen European Value Fund, an equity mutual fund that offers a portfolio of
quality European company stocks for investors seeking long-term growth and inter
national diversification. This fund is just one of an ever-expanding range of
Nuveen products and services designed to help investors achieve diversification
while building a tax-efficient, risk-sensitive investment portfolio. If you'd 
like to learn more about the Nuveen European Value Fund or any of our other 
investments, contact your financial adviser or call Nuveen Investor Services 
for a prospectus at (800) 621-7227. Please read it carefully before you invest.

When seeking quality investment solutions that withstand the test of
time, we hope that you continue to think of John Nuveen & Co. On behalf of
everyone at Nuveen, I thank you for your continued confidence in us and our
family of investments.

Sincerely,





TIMOTHY R. SCHWERTFEGER

Nuveen Exchange-Traded Funds
Portfolio Manager Roundtable
Bill Fitzgerald and Tom Futrell, portfolio managers of Nuveen's national
exchange-traded funds, review the past year in the municipal market and talk
about fund performance and opportunities to find value.



What factors influenced the performance of municipal bonds over the past year?
Over the past 12 months, we have enjoyed a bull market in fixed-income
investments, including municipal bonds. Bond prices rose as interest rates
continued to drop and inflation remained at 30-year lows. Although still strong,
the performance of the municipal market was moderated by the effect of heavy
supply, as the lower rate environment stimulated a substantial increase in new
issuance as well as the refinancing of existing bonds. The first quarter of 1998
saw $68 billion of new municipal issuance, up 70% from the same period in 1997.

The flood of new issues continued in recent weeks with May's long-awaited sale
of the first segment of Long Island (New York) Power Authority's $7 billion
offering, the largest issuance in municipal bond history. The publicity
surrounding this issue brought an unusual level of attention to the municipal
market and may stimulate additional interest in municipal bonds.

How did the funds perform in this environment? For the 12 months ended
April 30, 1998, the funds posted total returns on net asset value that ranged
from 8.51% to 9.03%, equivalent to taxable returns of 11.56% to 12.10% for
investors in the 31% federal income tax bracket. The total returns compare with
the unleveraged Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index's annual return of 9.30%.

In reviewing the performance of these funds, it is important to look at
both components of total return: income and price appreciation. Understanding
what influences them can help us measure how well the funds are meeting their
objectives of providing investors with the highest possible level of tax-free
income consistent with capital preservation, as well as enhanced portfolio value
relative to the market.

Income
These funds have established track records of competitive yields despite their
recent dividend adjustments. In most cases, these adjustments can be attributed
to bond calls. When a bond is called, sold or reaches its maturity date, we must
replace it with a bond paying a current coupon rate. Many of the bonds replaced
in the past year had higher coupons than are available in the current municipal
market. As long as we remain in a lower rate environment, these transactions
could continue to affect the income levels of our funds.

Price Appreciation
Three major factors impacted the growth in price appreciation over the past
year:

o Declining interest rates: Because these funds were assembled in the higher
interest rate environment of the late 1980s and early 1990s, their underlying
bonds appreciated in value as rates fell. The coupon rates of these bonds are
also higher than those available in the current market, making the income level
offered by these funds more attractive.

o Pre-refundings: Declining interest rates also meant an increased number of
pre-refundings. In a pre-refunding, a bond issue is essentially repaid
early and becomes secured by U.S. government or agency securities until it can
be called by the issuer. When bonds are pre-refunded and backed by Treasury
securities, their credit quality improves, resulting in price appreciation.
These funds have large percentages of pre-refunded bonds, which led to
additional price appreciation.

o Credit upgrades: The continued strength of the U.S. economy helped to boost
the credit quality of many municipal bonds, as evidenced by the fact that credit
upgrades outnumbered down grades by a margin of approximately 17 to 1 among the
2,879 credit rating revisions issued by Moody's in 1997. During the first 
quarter of 1998, upgrades continued to exceed downgrades by a significant
margin. These upgrades, in turn, increased the credit quality and value of many
of the bonds in the portfolios.

Where did you find value in the current market?
The heavy supply of new issues played a large role in our ability to find value
investing opportunities over the past year. The growing new issue supply forced
issuers and underwriters to customize the structure of new deals by including
attractive features such as above-market yields, flexible pricing and special
call provisions. This created several opportunities, especially in undervalued
areas such as FHA-insured hospital and housing bonds. Heavy volume also enabled
us to purchase bonds with favorable structures at attractive prices in smaller
states such as Arkansas, Kentucky, Michigan and Ohio.

What are your key strategies for the future?
In the coming year, we will attempt to pre-empt some bond calls in an effort to
help preserve income. Pre-empting a bond call involves selling the bond before
its anticipated call date and then replacing it as we find undervalued bonds
that will add value to the portfolios and help us pursue our investment
objectives. We will also continue to work toward improving the funds' general
structure through diversifying call risk and incrementally increasing portfolio
duration.

Our focus remains on selecting undervalued
securities that provide attractive income and the opportunity for price
appreciation. The research-intensive bond selection process in which Nuveen
excels will help us identify those issues that will support the funds'
objectives.

Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

1. General Information and Significant Accounting Policies
The National Funds (the "Funds") covered in this report and their corresponding
New York Stock Exchange symbols are Nuveen Performance Plus Municipal Fund,
Inc. (NPP), Nuveen Municipal Advantage Fund, Inc. (NMA) and Nuveen Municipal
Market Opportunity Fund, Inc. (NMO).

Each Fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of municipal obligations
issued by state and local government authorities. The Funds are registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940 as closed-end, diversified management
investment companies.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.

Securities Valuation
The prices of municipal bonds in each Fund's investment portfolio are provided
by a pricing service approved by the Fund's Board of Directors. When price
quotes are not readily available (which is usually the case for municipal
securities), the pricing service establishes fair market value based on yields
or prices of municipal bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon,
maturity and rating, indications of value from securities dealers and general
market conditions. Temporary investments in securities that have variable rate
and demand features qualifying them as short-term securities are valued at
amortized cost, which approximates market value.

Securities Transactions
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and
losses from such transactions are determined on the specific identification
method. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis
may have extended settlement periods. The securities so purchased are subject to
market fluctuation during this period. The Funds have instructed the custodian
to segregate assets in a separate account with a current value at least equal to
the amount of the when-issued and delayed delivery purchase commitments. At
April 30, 1998, Performance Plus and Opportunity had outstanding when-issued and
delayed delivery purchase commitments of $1,917,380 and $9,624,603,
respectively. Municipal Advantage had no such outstanding purchase commitments.

Investment Income
Interest income is determined on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for
amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on long-term debt securities
when required for federal income tax purposes.

Federal Income Taxes
Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund
intends to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable
to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its tax-exempt net
investment income, in addition to any significant amounts of net realized
capital gains and/or market discount realized from investment transactions. The
Funds currently consider significant net realized capital gains and/or market
discount as amounts in excess of $.001 per Common share for Performance Plus and
$.01 per Common share for Advantage and Opportunity. Furthermore, each Fund
intends to satisfy conditions which will enable interest from municipal
securities, which is exempt from regular federal income tax, to retain such
tax-exempt status when distributed to shareholders of the Funds. Net realized
capital gain and market discount distributions are subject to federal taxation.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
Tax-exempt net investment income is declared as a dividend monthly and payment
is made or reinvestment is credited to shareholder accounts on the first
business day after month-end. Net realized capital gains and/or market discount
from investment transactions are distributed to shareholders not less frequently
than annually. Furthermore, capital gains are distributed only to the extent
they exceed available capital loss carryforwards.

Distributions to shareholders of tax-exempt net investment income, net realized
capital gains and/or market discount, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend
date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with
federal income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. Accordingly, temporary over-distributions as a result of
these differences may occur and will be classified as either distributions in
excess of net investment income, distributions in excess of net realized gains
and/or distributions in excess of net ordinary taxable income from investment
transactions, where applicable.
<PAGE>
Preferred Shares
The Funds have issued and outstanding $25,000 stated value Preferred shares.
Each Fund's Preferred shares are issued in more than one Series. The dividend
rate on each Series may change every seven days, as set by the auction agent.
The number of shares outstanding, by Series and in total, for each Fund is as
follows:

Derivative Financial Instruments
The Funds may invest in transactions in certain derivative financial instruments
including futures, forward, swap, option contracts, and other financial
instruments with similar characteristics. Although the Funds are authorized to
invest in such financial instruments, and may do so in the future, they did not
make any such investments during the six months ended April 30, 1998.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net
assets from operations during the reporting period.

2. Fund Shares
Transactions in Common shares were as follows:

Certain long-term and intermediate-term investments owned by the Funds are
either covered by insurance issued by several private insurers or are backed by
an escrow or trust containing U.S. government or U.S. government agency
securities, both of which ensure the timely payment of principal and interest in
the event of default (64% for Performance Plus, 65% for Advantage and 48% for
Opportunity).

All of the temporary investments in short-term municipal securities have credit
enhancements (letters of credit, guarantees or insurance) issued by third party
domestic or foreign banks or other institutions.

For additional information regarding each investment security, refer to the
Portfolio of Investments of each Fund.
