Hamburg
State Opera
This
opera house, rich in tradition, is one of the leading opera stages of the world.
It’s ballet under the direction of the US-American John Neumeier is considered
undoubtedly as one of the world’s finest.
30 years Hamburg Ballet with John Neumeier
Since September 2005 Simone Young is the new chief musical director of the Hamburg State Opera.
With
the construction of this music hall (1904-1908) the architects Martin
Haller and W.E. Meerwein have achieved a lavish example of neo-baroque
architecture. Since then
Hamburg has at it’s disposal a representative place to promote musical presentation of all genres.

in 1840 as a “Circus Gymnasticus” with room for 3000 spectators.1864 it was

popular musical representations.
