History

In 1987 Stella Entertainment was looking for a new musical theatre in Hamburg, after their success with Cats in the Operettenhaus . Together with the city they picked the Rote Flora, but after massive protests and after squatters took over the building Stella abandoned their plans. In Altona the company found a new site for their theater and after a construction period of 22 months and again many protest the theater opened in 1990 with Das Phantom der Oper. [1]

At the beginning of the millennium Stella Entertainment got into financial troubles, resulting in a bankruptcy. The Dutch company Stage Entertainment (Stage Holding at the time) acquired several parts of Stella Entertainment, including the Neue Flora in 2002. [2]
