Disneys Der König der Löwen - Das Musical

An event in the series Disney's THE LION KING - The Musical in Hamburg

When the curtain rises at the Stage Theater in Hamburg's harbor and the sun rises over the savanna, the magic of Africa becomes palpable. Disney's THE LION KING is one of the most successful musicals in the world, captivating audiences with its unique blend of music, movement, and visual spectacle. The mix of pop music by Sir Elton John, featuring hits like "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" and "Hakuna Matata," and authentic African rhythms creates the production's distinctive sound. Impressive masks, puppets, props, and elaborate costumes transform the stage into a vibrant, immersive work of art.

The story centers on Simba, the Lion King. The musical tells of the cycle of life, growing up, responsibility, love, and the search for one's place. Disney's THE LION KING combines emotional storytelling with visually stunning stagecraft and appeals to audiences of all generations.

Director Julie Taymor transformed the well-known Disney film into an independent stage production that has set international standards. Thanks to her impressive wealth of ideas, her seemingly boundless imagination, and the innovative use of masks and puppetry, the production has received worldwide acclaim and over 70 international musical awards.

Disney's THE LION KING is being performed at the Stage Theater in Hamburg's harbor. Its prime location right on the water makes a visit to the theater a special experience. Even the crossing on the free shuttle boats from the Landungsbrücken piers is an integral part of the evening.

Teasertext

In the format “Drawer Discoveries”, the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg (MK&G) presents thematic selections of remarkable works from its Graphic and Poster Collection. From 9 October 2026 to 25 April 2027, the focus is on dance.

The exhibition features 125 works spanning more than 100 years, demonstrating the many different ways in which movement can be represented. Graphic Designers capture movement in a wide variety of ways: through striking poses, motion blur, sequences of images or abstract forms. At times, even the typography seems to dance. Photography and drawing, black and white and colour create very different moods and forms of expression.

At the heart of the exhibition are posters for dance events featuring internationally renowned choreographers, including Alvin Ailey, Pina Bausch, Jérôme Bel, Trisha Brown, Merce Cunningham, Mary Wigman and Sasha Waltz. The display is complemented by a selection of film posters and advertising images. Video sequences from well-known film classics provide additional inspiration. A quiz and a search game invite visitors to get involved – and, of course, dancing is encouraged!
