Operettenhaus

The Operettenhaus is a theatre building in St. Pauli with classical architectural features and capacity for around 1,335 audience members across multiple levels. The layout allows good sightlines to the stage from various positions throughout the hall.

The theatre opened in 1952 as a venue for operettas and musicals. In 2011, Stage Entertainment Germany took over ownership from the city of Hamburg, leading to its evolution into a modern musical theatre.

The theatre presents musicals from Germany and around the world, showcasing different styles and stories for audiences to discover. These productions have shaped the cultural life of the district and draw regular theatre-goers throughout the year.

The building is easily accessible for wheelchair users and has helpful facilities for visitors with mobility needs. You can purchase your tickets online in advance, making it simple to secure your spot before arriving.

The theatre started as a home for traditional operettas but was transformed into a musical theatre and has since staged German premieres of various international productions. This transformation shows how the venue evolved with changing audience tastes.
