Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 16:30

Hamburgische Staatsoper, Großes Haus (Hamburg)

Keren Kagarlitsky (Musical Director), Christian Günther (Chorus), Hubert Kowalczyk (Sarastro), Liv Redpath (Pamina), Chao Deng (Speaker), Mziwamadoda Sipho Nodlayiya (Priester), Aleksandra Olczyk (Königin der Nacht), Narea Son (Erste Dame), Kady Evanyshyn (Zweite Dame), Michal Doron (Dritte Dame), Andrew Hamilton (Papageno), Peter Galliard (Monostatos), Marie Maidowski (Papagena), Jürgen Sacher (Erster Geharnischter), Keith Klein (Zweiter Geharnischter), Alsterspatzen – Kinder- und Jugendchor der Hamburgischen Staatsoper (Drei Knaben), Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg (Orchestra), Chor der Hamburgischen Staatsoper (Chorus)

This opera is the world in a theatrical nutshell: it deals with growing older, with trials and tribulations, with intransparent decisions. One person searches for individuality, another is too lazy to do so. Others postulate that the community is the only adequate place for the individual. Power has either been legitimised by long tradition or usurped by new regimes. Values such as assimilation and loyalty are set against self-assertiveness and independence. There is loving and dreaming, cheating and trusting. Suicides are prevented, tests passed, adventures survived. Who is right? Who has been wronged? The world of the magic flute is opaque, and everyone is looking for a pathway: within it, into it or out of it. Who holds the reigns? Who can be trusted? Could it be music? Director: Jette Steckel Set Designer: Florian Lösche Costume Designer: Pauline Hüners Dramaturgy: Johannes Blum, Carl Hegemann Video: EINS[23].TV (Alexander Bunge) Lighting Design: Paulus Vogt Premiere: 23.9.2016 Please note that stroboscope effects and partly very bright lights are being used.

Hänsel und Gretel (Hansel and Gretel)

Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 14:30

Hamburgische Staatsoper, Großes Haus (Hamburg)

Killian Farrell (Musical Director), Kartal Karagedik (Peter), Katja Pieweck (Gertrud), Aebh Kelly (Hänsel), Narea Son (Gretel), Hellen Kwon (Knusperhexe), Marie Maidowski (Taumännchen), Alsterspatzen – Kinder- und Jugendchor der Hamburgischen Staatsoper (Childrens’ choir), Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg (Orchestra)

“Don‘t you know the horrible dark place, don’t you know the evil one lives there?” Hastily, their parents set out for the woods to save Hansel and Gretel from the witch Rosina Leckermaul. As they feared, the children have got lost in the woods and found the gingerbread house. They cannot resist the sweet temptation – and fall straight into the trap of the witch, who likes children so much she could eat them up… literally. As in most tales of the Brothers Grimm, in Engelbert Humperdinck’s setting of the fairytale all ends well: until that point, however, Humperdinck’s romantic music accompanies the children deep into the dark forest of legend. Here it invokes magical beings, calls on 14 angels to protect the siblings and allows the witch to ride her broomstick through the air. Today, Humperdinck’s classic, premiered in Weimar in 1893, is as much a part of Christmastime as gingerbread and tree decorations – and has invited young audiences and those young at heart all over the world into its fairytale world ever since. Director: Peter Beauvais Set Designer: Jan Schlubach Costume Designer: Barbara Bilabel / Susanne Raschig Premiere: 06.12.1972

Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute)

Tue, Dec 30, 2025, 19:00

Hamburgische Staatsoper, Großes Haus (Hamburg)

Keren Kagarlitsky (Musical Director), Christian Günther (Chorus), Hubert Kowalczyk (Sarastro), Dovlet Nurgeldiyev (Tamino), Liv Redpath (Pamina), Chao Deng (Speaker), Mziwamadoda Sipho Nodlayiya (Priester), Aleksandra Olczyk (Königin der Nacht), Narea Son (Erste Dame), Kady Evanyshyn (Zweite Dame), Ida Aldrian (Dritte Dame), Andrew Hamilton (Papageno), Peter Galliard (Monostatos), Marie Maidowski (Papagena), Jürgen Sacher (Erster Geharnischter), Keith Klein (Zweiter Geharnischter), Alsterspatzen – Kinder- und Jugendchor der Hamburgischen Staatsoper (Drei Knaben), Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg (Orchestra), Chor der Hamburgischen Staatsoper (Chorus)

This opera is the world in a theatrical nutshell: it deals with growing older, with trials and tribulations, with intransparent decisions. One person searches for individuality, another is too lazy to do so. Others postulate that the community is the only adequate place for the individual. Power has either been legitimised by long tradition or usurped by new regimes. Values such as assimilation and loyalty are set against self-assertiveness and independence. There is loving and dreaming, cheating and trusting. Suicides are prevented, tests passed, adventures survived. Who is right? Who has been wronged? The world of the magic flute is opaque, and everyone is looking for a pathway: within it, into it or out of it. Who holds the reigns? Who can be trusted? Could it be music? Director: Jette Steckel Set Designer: Florian Lösche Costume Designer: Pauline Hüners Dramaturgy: Johannes Blum, Carl Hegemann Video: EINS[23].TV (Alexander Bunge) Lighting Design: Paulus Vogt Premiere: 23.9.2016 Please note that stroboscope effects and partly very bright lights are being used.

CHRISTOPH MARTHALER MEETS GUSTAV MAHLER - TWO GRAND MASTERS RETURN TO THE STAATSOPER HAMBURG Gustav Mahler - star conductor, visionary composer, Hamburg resident by choice. And also: a restless artist who struggled with himself, a “restless one”, as his wife and Viennese icon Alma characterized him. A panorama of human experience unfolds in his music - always oscillating between joie de vivre and dance of death. To mark its 350th anniversary year, the Hamburg State Opera is dedicating special projects to the works of its creative former general music directors and artistic directors and is celebrating the most famous of them at the start of this series. The director Christoph Marthaler, known for his unconventional and playful scenic collages, approaches Mahler's oeuvre in an unusual evening of music theater. This artistic encounter explores the nuances of the composer's songs and instrumental music, interpreted in experimental arrangements by an ensemble of singers, actors and musicians. Following his acclaimed Lulu from 2017, Marthaler now brings this production close to the audience - as an intense chamber play in the opera stabile. Musical direction and arrangement: Johannes Harneit Production: Christoph Marthaler Stage: Duri Bischoff Costumes: Sara Kittelmann Dramaturgy: Malte Ubenauf, Judith Wiemers An evening at low volume Music theater by Christoph Marthaler with compositions by Gustav Mahler
