Hamburg State Opera
The Opera in Hamburg dates back to the 2nd of January 1678 when the "Opern-Theatrum" was inaugurated with a recital of a biblical Singspiel by Johann Theile. It was the first public opera house in Germany established by the art-loving citizens of Hamburg, a prosperous member of the Hanseatic League.
To replace the aging wooden structure on the Gänsemarkt, the first stone was put in place on 18 May 1826 for the Stadt-Theater on the present-day site of the Hamburg State Opera. The new theater, with a capacity of 2800, was inaugurated less than a year later with Beethoven's incidental music to Egmont.
The building was refurbished in 1873, when both the exterior and interior remodeled in the reigning "Gründerzeit" style of the time, and again in 1891, when electric lighting was installed.
On the night of 2 August 1943, both the auditorium and its neighboring buildings were destroyed during air raids by fire-bombing when a low-flying airplane dropped several petrol and phosphorus containers on to the middle of the roof of the auditorium, turning it into a conflagration, but the building was rebuilt after the war.
The spirit of this opera is the Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra – it was established around 175 years ago and plays at almost all the opera and ballet evenings as well as the Philharmonic Concerts in Hamburg’s Laeiszhalle. The company won the "Opera House of the Year" prize by the German magazine Opernwelt in 1997 and also in 2005.
In recent times, Hamburg housed the world premières of Wolfgang Rihm's “The Conquest of Mexico” (1992) and Helmut Lachenmann's “The Little Match Girl” (1997), for which it received much international acclaim.
