Hanover is not only the city of EXPO 2000, but also has cultural institutions such as the theater, the Kunstverein and the Kestner-Gesellschaft, which have a supra-regional appeal.
Theater in Hanover has a rich tradition.
Itinerant theater troupes arrived early on and performed at various locations in the city.
In 1730, German actors gave their first public performances in Hanover.
From 1845 to 1952, a new opera house and playhouse was built according to the plans of Georg Ludwig Friedrich Laves.
This magnificent court theater in the center of the city, located in today's Georgstraße, was cleverly used by King George V for his representational wishes.
The Schauspielhaus was destroyed during the Second World War.
Performances continued in the Ballhof and it was not until the early 1990s that a new theater was built in Prinzenstraße according to the designs of Swiss architect Claude Paillard.
The Hanover Theater has been the station for many careers, be it the actor Alexander May, who was also the theater's artistic director in the 1980s, or the director and designated Burgtheater artistic director Matthias Hartmann.
And actor Clemens Schick, who can be seen in the latest James Bond film, and director Jürgen Gosch, who first staged plays in Hanover after moving from the GDR, report that Schauspiel Hannover is a springboard for many talents.
