Anthony Ulrich
The earliest incarnation of the Staatstheater Braunschweig was the "Opernhaus am Hagenmarkt" in Braunschweig, founded in 1690 by Duke Anthony Ulrich of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. Theatre works such as "Emilia Galotti" by Lessing and Goethe's "Faust" had their first openings in Braunschweig.
