Hänsel und Gretel (Hansel and Gretel)

Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 18:00

Hamburgische Staatsoper, Großes Haus (Hamburg)

Killian Farrell (Musical Director), Chao Deng (Peter), Katja Pieweck (Gertrud), Kady Evanyshyn (Hänsel), Eliza Boom (Gretel), Jürgen Sacher (Knusperhexe), Elizaveta Kulagina (Sandmännchen), 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

Maria and Elisabetta: two queens fight for power and love. Between them stands Count Leicester, Elisabetta's lover, who is attracted to Maria.

Il trovatore

Wed, Mar 18, 2026, 19:00

Hamburgische Staatsoper, Großes Haus (Hamburg)

Matteo Beltrami (Musical Director), Christian Günther (Chorleitung), Boris Pinkhasovich (Luna), Enea Scala (Manrico), Eleonora Buratto (Leonora), Clementine Margaine (Azucena), Alexander Roslavets (Ferrando), Elizaveta Kulagina (Inez), Colin Aikins (Ruiz), Chor der Hamburgischen Staatsoper (Chorus), Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg (Orchestra)

For Leonora, the song of the troubadour Manrico holds the promise and glow of love; Manrico's rival Count Luna perceives in it threat and danger. Verdi's opera is a celebration of Italian opera singing at its best - so it is no coincidence that the title character is a singer himself. And yet for the composer, Azucena, Manrico's mother, was the real protagonist. Il trovatore is rich in dramatic intricacies and intense emotions, which Verdi abruptly juxtaposes in images and scenes. Tragedy relentlessly unfolds before our eyes and ears until the truth is revealed in the opera's final seconds. Stage: Alex Eales Costumes: Herbert Murauer Lighting: James Farncombe Video: Philipp Contag-Lada Dramaturgy: Ralf Waldschmidt Chorus: Christian Günther

Luisa Miller

Sun, May 24, 2026, 18:00

Hamburgische Staatsoper, Großes Haus (Hamburg)

Henrik Nánási (Musical Director), Alice Meregaglia (Chorus), Gábor Bretz (Il Conte di Walter), Pavol Breslik (Rodolfo), George Petean (Miller), Elbenita Kajtazi (Luisa), Alexander Roslavets (Wurm), Kristina Stanek (Federica), Elizaveta Kulagina (Laura), Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg (Orchestra), Chor der Hamburgischen Staatsoper (Chorus)

"Luisa Miller" is Giuseppe Verdi’s third setting of a play by Friedrich Schiller. “It is a great drama, full of passion and very effective in theatrical terms,” the composer wrote to the librettist Salvadore Cammarano about Kabale und Liebe. In order to conform to the expectations of the censors and audience, Verdi first had to reduce the play to a libretto suitable for opera, moving the focus from Schiller’s political tale to the family drama. In his opera, first performed in Naples in 1849, Verdi produced outstanding character studies of all his protagonists. In this work he laid the foundation for many “Verdi types” of later years, e.g. Iago, Giorgio Germont, Aida or Desdemona. Luisa Miller was first performed in Hamburg at the Hamburg State Opera in 1981 in a new production conducted by Giuseppe Sinopoli and directed by Luciano Damiani, who also designed the sets and costumes at the time. Director: Andreas Homoki Set Designer: Paul Zoller Costume Designer: Gideon Davey Lighting Designer: Franck Evin Premiere: 16.11.2014
