One of the most famous opera houses in the world, Hamburg's Staatsoper attracts a host of international stars who perform pieces ranging from classical to contemporary. A small stage - the Opera Stablile - stages productions of new, experimental pieces. The building dates from the 1950s, but the opera itself was founded as long ago as 1678. The current musical director is Ingo Metzmacher, a darling of the critics and winner of numerous awards. The Hamburg Ballet is directed by John Neumeier, whose daring productions of modern ballets have audiences crying out for more.
