	The Hamburg Ballet - John Neumeier
		Hamburg’s first opera-house consisted of a long wooden building located between Jungfernstieg (on the corner of Gänsemarkt) and Colonnaden and was directed by the town councillor Gerhard Schott, the lawyer Peter Lütjens and the organist Johann Adam Reinken.
		In 1721, Georg Philipp Telemann, a further central figure of the German Baroque, joined the Hamburg Opera – too late, however, for soon administrative and financial crises posed a threat, seconded by attacks on the part of pietistically orientated theologians, to whom the sensuality of music theatre was a thorn in the flesh.
		Opera became increasingly prominent in the repertory of the Stadt-Theater.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Hamburg State Opera
		Opera in Hamburg dates back to 2 January 1678 when the "Opern-Theatrum" was inaugurated with a performance of a biblical Singspiel by Johann Theile.
		It was not a court theatre but the first public opera house in Germany established by the art-loving citizens of Hamburg, a prosperous member of the Hanseatic League.
		In the beginning of the 20 century, opera was an important part of the theatre's repertoire; among the 321 performances during the 1907?08 season, 282 were performances of opera.

	The Hamburg Ballet - John Neumeier
		Hamburg Ballet, also known as the Hamburg State Opera Ballet: One of the first examples of German civic opera, the Hamburg Goosemarket Opera, established in 1678, offered its clients regular ballet performances.
		When the opera house closed its doors in 1738, theater performances were given by visiting troupes, who offered ballets among their mixed bills of operas, musical plays and drama.
		Not until the Hamburg municipal theater had a ballet company of its own, however, could Hamburg audiences see the standard Romantic repertory danced by such guest stars as Marie Taglioni, Lucille Grahn, Fanny Cerrito and Fanny Elssler (who made Hamburg her residence for a few years after she retired from the stage).

	Hamburgische Staatsoper
		The founding of Germany’s first public opera house in Hamburg on 2nd January 1678 was an act of emancipation in two distinct ways.
		Second, the fact that the opera was also accessible to the public was an extreme form of emancipation as, prior to the opening of Hamburg’s "Opern-Theatrum" with its performance of Johann Theile’s Singspiel entitled "Adam and Eve or The Created, Fallen and Redeemed Man", opera performances were exclusively enjoyed by the nobility and the aristocracy.
		The first opera house building, an elongated shed-like timber building erected by Italian master builder Sartorio, stands between the Jungfernstieg and the corner of the Gänsemarkt and the Colonnaden.

		Though one of the most popular operas of the 19th century, this musical spectacle of history's bloodiest religious war is understandably seldom staged these days.
		It is an opera of the grand-volume, cast-of-thousands type, one that makes arduous demands on orchestra, chorus and most of all, principal singers.
		On this evening in May 1987, a young, virtually unknown American tenor soared to the occasion, in a performance marking his European debut and in a role he was singing for the first time.

		The Hamburg State Opera under the guidance of Impresario Rolf Liebermann has developed into one of the most creative companies in the world.
		Ustinov succeeded where others had failed by playing the opera, as he put it, for "what's on the surface." It turned out to be a poetic, elfin romp, somewhat in the spirit of Beni Montresor's enchanting 1966 production for the New York City Opera.
		A space opera for children, Menotti's Help, Help, The Globolinks is as different from his 1951 Christmas pageant Amahl and the Night Visitors as a shepherd is from an astronaut.
