US EditionA New Opera House for Hamburg
The new opera house will feature a publicly accessible rooftop garden and is funded through a public-private partnership with costs capped at €147.5 million, officials said.
- Yesterday, an independent jury unanimously selected Bjarke Ingels Group's design for a world-class opera house on the waterfront in HafenCity, Hamburg.
- Initiated by arts-patron Klaus-Michael Kühne, the City of Hamburg and the Kühne-Foundation reached a construction contract after months of intensive dialogue with the Hamburg State Opera.
- BIG's design features a planted spiral rooftop ramp with panoramic views, and the plan will develop over two years with the City of Hamburg, Kühne-Foundation, Hamburg State Opera, and HSO-Projekt-gGmbH.
- Upon completion, ownership will transfer to the City of Hamburg, which will cover location-specific costs up to 147.5 million euros, with remaining costs from the Kühne-Foundation.
- Kühne-Foundation will decide whether to proceed after an extended planning phase and robust cost assessment, and the venue aims to be a world-class home for Hamburg State Opera, Hamburg Ballet, and Philharmonic State Orchestra.
