Ghost Light
The Hamburg Ballet kicks of the 2020/21 season on September 6 with the world premiere of John Neumeier's new creation "Ghost Light" using solo piano music by Franz Schubert. The ballet for 55 dancers has been created since May 11, taking into account the applicable distance requirements and hygiene regulations. The title "Ghost Light" draws on an American theatrical tradition: when it switched on, no artist is allowed to use the stage. The ghost light burns through the night – until the stage comes alive again.

Flexible Seating Plan and Wearing Masks
In the currently valid Senate ordinance, the number of participants permitted for events in closed rooms is limited to a maximum of 650 seats. Since the specified distance requirements of 1.5 metres must be observed at all times, the Hamburg State Opera cannot make use of this maximum number. A flexible seating plan, however, allows us to cater to the wishes of our visitors and thus allows up to 10 people to sit next to each other. Masks are also compulsory at the Hamburg State Opera. Mouth and nose covers must be worn on all walkways until the seat is occupied.
