Poetry Slam

Word art on Hamburg's stages.

Experience culture. Poetry Slam in Hamburg

Hamburg stands for art and culture through and through. And over the years, poetry slams have gained a firm place in Hamburg's cultural programme. Those who want to see young lyrical talents have the opportunity to do so in Hamburg almost every week. The young poet scene meets here regularly on stage to compete and inspire the audience. And with the "artistic duels", the city even has its own unofficial championship. Here, you'll find an overview of current events and the most frequent venues.

    Paul Potts, the talented tenor from Wales, is living his dream. After being bullied and ridiculed at school, he found refuge in the local church choir. When he heard »La Bohème« at the age of 16, he fell in love with opera and began a passionate romance that took him on a turbulent journey. Finally, in 2007, he won the first season of »Britain’s Got Talent« and changed his life forever.

    Despite the turbulent last few years in the touring industry, Paul Potts has managed to perform in South Korea, Japan, Scandinavia, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Wales. He also spent many months in the recording studio. In April 2022, he appeared as a koala on the German version of »The Masked Singer« and thrilled audiences with classics by A-Ha, Toto, Elton John, and Dua Lipa. Starting in January 2026, Paul Potts will be touring with his new program »Unforgettable Moments«.

    ROMANTIC EVOLUTION/S

    La Sylphide is considered the epitome of romantic ballet, with its premiere in 1832 marking the birth of the art form. Since then, ballet has continued to evolve: for almost 200 years, world premieres by enterprising choreographers have served to renew and expand a universal language that requires no words but is nonetheless highly eloquent. The double bill ROMANTIC EVOLUTION/S combines La Sylphide with a world premiere called Äther (engl. Ether) by principal and choreographer Aleix Martínez. Commissioned by Interim Artistic Director of the Hamburg Ballet Lloyd Riggins, Martínez will draw inspiration from this romantic classic for his new piece.
