THEATRES
Classic plays, traditional German theatre and modern productions – theatregoers are spoilt for choice in Hamburg.
The Thalia Theatre is the city's oldest theatre and one of Germany's finest and most diverse state theatres. Classic plays produced by up-and-coming directors take centre stage here.
No less traditional but always hotly debated are the performances at the Deutsches Schauspielhaus, Germany's largest spoken-word theatre.
Innovative theatre, dance and performance projects are the hallmarks of the Kampnagel Theatre. The converted industrial halls of this former crane factory have become some of the most high-profile and unconventional stages in the performing arts world. An annual favourite here is the International Summer Festival with its captivating mix of dance, theatre, concerts and debates.

The city is Germany's number one destination for shows that combine thrilling choreography, toe-tapping songs and unreserved fun.Disney's The Lion's King excites audiences of all ages with breathtaking dance routines and amazing animal costumes.
