Die Entführung aus dem Serail

Four friends are traveling together on a luxury yacht: Konstanze, Belmonte, Blonde, and Pedrillo. A violent storm throws everything into disarray. While Belmonte is left adrift at sea, the other three are shipwrecked on a mysterious island. This island is ruled by a shrewd sheikh named Selim. Osmin, who loves making lists and keeping everything under control, maintains order and rules.

On the island, different worlds collide: order and freedom, fear and courage, rules and friendship. Mozart's famous arias and ensembles are presented in a new text that clarifies the plot and makes it more accessible to young audiences. The characters are allowed to be funny, strict, brave, or fearful – and they are allowed to change.

This children's opera invites everyone to laugh, get caught up in the excitement, and listen attentively. With this musical fairy tale, the children's theatre continues its mission to introduce children to the genre in an imaginative way and to ignite their passion for musical theatre.

Die kleine Dame – De lütte Daam

When Lilly and her family move into the old house with the golden pretzel, she has no idea that a magical neighbor lives in the enchanted backyard: the Little Lady. She owns a 1000-year-old chameleon, can turn invisible, and possesses all sorts of magical skills – but above all, she's a rascal! This is fortunate, especially since the caretaker, Mr. Liverwurst, is decidedly unfriendly to children. For Lilly, a summer full of adventures begins.

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.

Do You Love Me

There is no national archive in Lebanon, and the country’s recent history is not taught in schools. »In a place like Lebanon, where the government repeatedly lets us down, it is journalists, writers, musicians and filmmakers who document history,« says director Lana Daher, whose film »Do You Love Me« has created a remarkable historical collage of Lebanon between war and pop music, destruction and resilience.
Drawing on more than 20,000 audio and visual sources, the film creates a kind of collective memory of Lebanon from the 1970s to the present day, weaving together private videos, documentaries and feature films. Rather than following a chronological narrative, »Do You Love Me« juxtaposes images in an associative way, portraying a country that has developed a remarkable resilience. The film thus offers the perfect introduction to the »Lebanon« festival at the Elbphilharmonie, which showcases the country’s rich musical culture from 29 October to 1 November.

Elbphilharmonie PLUS is a programme that opens up different ways of looking at the music performed at the Elbphilharmonie – either to supplement a concert, or as an experience in its own right. Interdisciplinary encounters and exhibitions form part of the Elbphilharmonie PLUS programme, as do concert talks and films shown in museums, libraries, cinemas and community centres.

Don Toliver

Erleben Sie Don Toliver auf seiner Nitrous - Octane World Tour am 06.11.2026 live in der Barclays Arena Hamburg. Jetzt Tickets, VIP- und Parktickets direkt bei der Arena kaufen.

Nach überwältigender Nachfrage und einer ausverkauften ersten Tourphase setzt Don Toliver seine erfolgreiche OCTANE TOUR mit der zweiten Etappe „NITROUS“ fort und bringt die gefeierte Produktion im Herbst 2026 nach Europa.

Der aus Houston stammende Multi-Platin-Künstler und Grammy-nominierte Rapper hat sich in den vergangenen Jahren als eine der prägenden Stimmen im modernen Hip-Hop und R&B etabliert. Mit seinem charakteristischen Mix aus Rap, melodischen Hooks und cineastischem Storytelling erschafft Don Toliver eigenständige Klangwelten, die ihn klar von anderen Artists seines Genres abheben.

Bereits bei seinem Auftritt in der Barclays Arena im vergangenen Jahr begeisterte Don Toliver mit einer energiegeladenen Show und zeigte eindrucksvoll, wie intensiv seine Musik live funktioniert. Die kommende Tour knüpft genau daran an und hebt die Produktion zugleich auf ein neues Level.

Mit seinen bisherigen Alben „Heaven or Hell“ (2020), „Life of a DON“ (2021), „Love Sick“ (2023) und „Hardstone Psycho“ (2024) hat er sich international eine breite Fanbase aufgebaut. 2026 folgte mit „OCTANE“ sein bislang größter Erfolg: Das Album stieg direkt auf Platz 1 der Billboard 200 ein, markierte seine erste Solo-Nummer-eins und entwickelte sich mit über einer Milliarde Streams zu einem der erfolgreichsten Hip-Hop-Releases des Jahres. Zusätzliche Strahlkraft gewann das Projekt dadurch, dass alle 17 Tracks gleichzeitig in den Billboard Hot Rap Songs Charts vertreten waren – ein Erfolg, den nur wenige Künstler zuvor erreicht haben. Songs wie „E85“ und „Body“ zählen zu den prägenden Tracks des Jahres und dominieren weiterhin die internationalen Streaming-Plattformen.

Auch live überträgt Don Toliver diesen Anspruch konsequent auf die Bühne. Die OCTANE TOUR steht für eine dichte, visuelle Inszenierung und ein immersives Konzerterlebnis, bei dem Sound, Atmosphäre und Performance ineinandergreifen.
