A New Opera House for Hamburg
The design will now be further developed over the next two years in close cooperation with the City of Hamburg , the foundation, and the Hamburg State Opera as the future main user. Upon completion of this extended planning phase and a robust cost assessment, the Kühne-Foundation will decide on whether to proceed with the project.
Initiated by arts-patron Klaus-Michael Kühne, the City of Hamburg , the Hamburg State Opera and the Kühne-Foundation have been in intensive dialogue for several months. The new opera house aims to become a future home for the State-Opera, the Hamburg-Ballet and the Philharmonic-State-Orchestra – while continuing the city's long musical tradition.
In February 2025 , the City and the Kühne-Foundation reached an agreement on a contract for the construction of a new opera house. The implementation is to be managed by HSO-Projekt-gGmbH. In addition to the foundation, the City of Hamburg and the Hamburg State-Opera are also expected to participate. The City will make the public spaces surrounding the new opera house accessible to everyone and will cover location-specific additional costs of up to a capped amount of €147.5 million. The remaining construction costs will be borne by the foundation. Upon completion, the building will be transferred to the City as a gift.
