The Future of Musical Theater

A wealth of musical theater under one roof! At the Theater Academy, students and professors from the composition, opera singing, directing, and dramaturgy programs work together on the future of musical theater.
To this end, Professor Dr. Gordon Kampe has expanded his area of specialization to include “Music Theater”: “From children’s opera to contemporary forms of operetta and performative approaches, all the way to grand opera—this diversity should be experienced and put into practice at the HfMT.”

The students are looking forward to exciting encounters and inspiring experiences on our three stages at the Barmbek campus and at the Forum an der Alster.
In late January 2027, Charlotte Wulff and Andrea Scalmana will present a full-length world premiere at the Forum featuring texts by Gesa Geue and Laura Milé. Charlotte Wulff is studying music theater direction with David Hermann, Andrea Scalmana is studying composition with Gordon Kampe, and the writers are studying dramatic writing at the UdK Berlin.

In early February, the transdisciplinary project “under construction” will follow on the Main Stage at the Barmbek Campus: small opera miniatures will be composed specifically for the voices of the master’s students in opera singing and staged by directing students.
