About
Did you know that Handel had to participate in duels on the Gänsemarkt before his first opera, Almira, was performed in Hamburg, and that Gustav Mahler was escorted home by the police after conducting the performance? You can also learn about other interesting anecdotes about the history and present of the house on Dammtorstraße during a public tour. Discover where rehearsals for the performances take place, take a look in our tailor's or mask-making workshop, and find out where the beautiful props used every evening disappear after the performance. In addition, you can enjoy the unique view of the auditorium from the stage, which is usually only experienced by our singers and dancers.
