A new generation of leaders takes over at Hamburg State Opera, all in their early to mid-forties: artistic director Tobias Kratzer, general music director Omer Meir Wellber, and Demis Volpi, artistic director of the ballet company (appointed in the summer of 2024). Managing director Dr Ralf Klöter praised their ability to achieve balance of continuity and new departure, while Dr Carsten Brosda, the city state of Hamburg’s senator for culture and media, emphasised how much Hamburg’s citizens were looking forward to the developments at their opera house. Indicative of the collaborative spirit of the season, the opera, ballet and concert departments gave a joint press conference, and their season is represented in a single combined brochure.
