In 1952 Hanell became municipal music director in Görlitz, before he was appointed first Kapellmeister at the Komische Oper Berlin by Walter Felsenstein in 1955. In 1965 he took over as chief conductor of the Großes Rundfunkorchester Berlin. He was also a permanent guest conductor at the Berlin State Opera, the Leipzig Opera, the Semperoper and the Chemnitz Opera. Guest appearances have taken him to Munich, Hanover, Frankfurt, Prague and Warsaw.
