An exhibition curated by the architectural historian Frank Schmitz and his art history students at Universität Hamburg illuminates Hamburg's theater and opera house architecture from an historical and present-day perspective. The exhibition runs from 9 to 27 June 2023 in the foyer of Hamburg City Hall. The exhibition shows various chapters in Hamburg's theater architecture history, with examples from both prestigious and less-prestigious theaters. In addition to buildings such as the State Opera and the Schauspielhaus, smaller performance venues such as the Hansa-Theater will also form part of the exhibition. Buildings no longer in use, such as the Schilleroper or the former Hippodrom and venues no longer in existence, such as the former opera house at Gänsemarkt or the Konzerthaus Ludwig-based on Vienna's Burgtheater-are also featured. Dr. Carsten Brosda, senator for culture and media: -Hamburg has long been a significant theater city.
