history
The Lübeck Pocket Opera was founded in 2004 by Margrit Dürr and Julian Metzger and is now legally organized as a registered non-profit association. She initially worked as a touring theater, but since 2006 has been using the rooms of the Lübeck Theater for her productions. From the 2020/21 season she will use the theater in Lübeck's Königstraße as a permanent home. In 2010 the Lübeck Pocket Opera received the Rheingau Music Prize endowed with € 10,000 ;
ensemble
The ensemble consists of a pool of professional singers and instrumental musicians. Above all, freelance professional musicians can be found among the participants, but there are also diverse connections to the artistic staff of the Theater Lübeck.
