Falstaff

Thu, Oct 2, 2025, 19:30

Hamburgische Staatsoper, Großes Haus (Hamburg)

Valerio Galli (Musical Director), Alice Meregaglia (Chorus), Wolfgang Koch (Falstaff), Andrii Kymach (Ford), Granit Musliu (Fenton), James Kryshak (Dr. Cajus), Daniel Kluge (Bardolfo), Hubert Kowalczyk (Pistola), Elbenita Kajtazi (Alice Ford), Narea Son (Nannetta), Kristina Stanek (Mrs. Quickly), Katja Pieweck (Meg Page), Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg (Orchestra), Chor der Hamburgischen Staatsoper (Chorus)

Sir John Falstaff is an anarchist who obeys only the reign of his own enjoyment, an egoist who feeds only his power-hunger and his own flesh, and who would prefer to raze the small-minded morals of his contemporaries like the walls of a fortress – by seducing two women at the same time. Needless to say, his plan is thwarted, but those trying to expose him also fail to emerge unruffled from the confusion they unleash around him – which only the audience can keep track of, barely. “Tutto nel mondo è burla,” but these jokes are only funny because falling into the abyss actually does pose quite a serious risk. Arrigo Boito, the librettist of “Otello”, distilled a sophisticated, ingenious libretto from Shakespeare’s original, driving Verdi to highly complex compositional heights. Director: Calixto Bieito Set Designer: Susanne Gschwender Costume Designer: Anja Rabes Dramaturgy: Bettina Auer Lighting Designer: Michael Bauer Premiere: January 19th 2020

Die dunkle Seite des Mondes

Sun, May 18, 2025, 18:00

Hamburgische Staatsoper, Großes Haus (Hamburg)

Unsuk Chin (Komposition), Dead Centre (Inszenierung), Kent Nagano (Musical Director), Jeremy Herbert (Bühne), Janina Brinkmann (Costume), James Farncombe (Licht), Sophie Lux (Video), Dr. Angela Beuerle (Dramaturgie), Christian Günther (Chorleitung), Thomas Lehman (Dr. Kieron), Bo Skovhus (Meister Astaroth), Siobhan Stagg (Miriel), Kangmin Justin Kim (Anima), Narea Son (Das lichte Mädchen), Aaron Godfrey-Mayes (Cornelius), William Desbiens (Dr. Pulski), Karl Huml (Dr. Raubenstock), Jürgen Sacher (Dr. Spinberg), Chor der Hamburgischen Staatsoper (Chorus), Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg (Orchestra)

Dr. Kieron is a brilliant scientist, respected and feared by his colleagues. But what nobody suspects is that every night he is haunted in his dreams by three recurring beings, enigmatic numbers and mysterious symbols, which he experiences with unbearably intense feelings. It is from these apparitions that he receives his scientific visions - the fundamental basis of his success. He also leads a double life. A highly respected scientist by day, he dives into the shady underworld at night in a restless search for human happiness. But his control over himself is slipping away. In order to satisfy his irrepressible urge for scientific knowledge and an emotionally fulfilling life, Kieron wants to have his dreams analyzed and enters into an alliance with the diabolical master Astaroth, with fatal consequences. Unsuk Chin drew inspiration for her second opera from the life and work of the legendary physicist Wolfgang Pauli and his relationship with the psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung. Faustian material for the 21st century. Musical Direction: Kent Nagano Production: Dead Centre Stage: Jeremy Herbert Costumes: Janina Brinkmann Lighting: James Farncombe Video: Sophie Lux Dramaturgy: Angela Beuerle, Michael Sangkuhl Commissioned by the State Opera Hamburg with the support of the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation Opera in two acts and ten pictures Based on a fictional story by the composer, inspired by the relationship between Wolfgang Pauli and Carl Gustav Jung

Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute)

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.

Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute)

Thu, Dec 18, 2025, 19:00

Hamburgische Staatsoper, Großes Haus (Hamburg)

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.

Hänsel und Gretel (Hansel and Gretel)

Thu, Dec 25, 2025, 14:30

Hamburgische Staatsoper, Großes Haus (Hamburg)

“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

Der Freischütz

Thu, Apr 23, 2026, 19:30

Hamburgische Staatsoper, Großes Haus (Hamburg)

Yoel Gamzou (Musical Director), Christian Günther (Chorleitung), Andrew Hamilton (Ottokar), Narea Son (Ännchen), Alexander Roslavets (Caspar), Dovlet Nurgeldiyev (Max), Clemes Sienknecht (Samiel), Hubert Kowalczyk (Ein Eremit), William Desbiens (Kilian), Chor der Hamburgischen Staatsoper (Chorus), Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg (Orchestra)

"The success was tremendous and unprecedented! Critics, artists, amateurs and music lovers were intoxicated ... The auditorium roared apart, loudly proclaiming the new miracle." Thus a report on the premiere in 1821 at the Berlin Schauspielhaus. Der Freischütz struck a chord with the times, every barrel organ played the "Jungfernkranz", every street singer performed it, as Heine reports. Weber had discovered the material in an old ghost book. The story of the hunter Max, who devotes himself to the devil in order to win his bride, touches on people's primal fears. The forest, the epitome of the "German soul", becomes a battleground between good and evil. Weber's music depicts the plight and despair of the people with gripping emotionality; the hope of a happy ending is evoked with fervor. Romantic drama and folk play in one, Der Freischütz is set somewhere between dream and nightmare, fascinating to this day. Musikalische Leitung: Yoel Gamzou Production: Andreas Kriegenburg Stage: Harald B. Thor Costumes: Andrea Schraad Lighting: Andreas Grüter Dramaturgy: Angela Beuerle Choreography: Volker Michl
