HAMBURG, Germany<\/span><\/span>, Nov. 14, 2025<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — In the years to come, a new world-class opera house is set to be built directly on the waterfront in Hamburg’s<\/span> HafenCity \u2013 an architecturally striking building designed to offer high-quality public space for both locals and visitors. It will be a venue for outstanding artistic performance, while remaining open and welcoming to all.<\/p>\n

An independent jury, comprising representatives of the City of Hamburg<\/span>, the K\u00fchne Foundation and external experts, has unanimously selected the winning design by Bjarke-Ingels-Group (BIG). Their concept envisions a public roof landscape that opens in all directions \u2013 towards the city and the River Elbe \u2013 offering a walkable experience with panoramic views of HafenCity and the harbour. The planted spiral ramp of rooftop gardens, accessible to the public, was praised as a successful blend of landmark architecture and optimal operatic functionality.<\/p>\n

The design will now be further developed over the next two years in close cooperation with the City of Hamburg<\/span>, 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 K\u00fchne-Foundation will decide on whether to proceed with the project.<\/p>\n

Initiated by arts-patron Klaus-Michael K\u00fchne, the City of Hamburg<\/span>, the Hamburg State Opera and the K\u00fchne-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 \u2013 while continuing the city’s long musical tradition.<\/p>\n

In February 2025<\/span>, the City and the K\u00fchne-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<\/span> 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 \u20ac147.5 million. The remaining construction costs will be borne by the foundation. Upon completion, the building will be transferred to the City as a gift.<\/p>\n
