Abstract
10m-class telescopes such as the VLT and the Keck Telescope have allowed tremendous progress on the understanding of environment of Sgr A*, the supermassive black hole at the Galactic Centre. However, these telescopes and associated instrumentation are reaching limitations which can only be overcome with larger apertures. We will summarise the most recent results in this area: star and gas dynamics, the origin of massive stars in the central parsec, the detection of stars on almost relativistic orbits. We will then anticipate the results that two E-ELT projects, MICADO and EAGLE, are expected to allow.
