Hamburg, Germany

Opernloft is an alternative opera theatre in Hamburg, Germany, located at the Altona Harbor on the Elbe River.^[1]^[2]

Many of Opernloft's shows have been staged as modern interpretations. Their 2023 production of Hansel and Gretel interpreted the piece as two patients in a dementia care ward.^[3]

History

Opernloft was founded in 2003. It has previously been situated in Wandsbek and at a former Axel Springer printing plant in Fuhlentwiete.^[2]

In 2018, the theatre moved into its current home, a former ferry terminal on the Elbe, in late 2018.^[2]

In October 2021, the group produced Die Entführung aus dem Serail as a series of one minute videos, which they released on TikTok over the course of three weeks.^[4]
