Two years young and not a bit boring: Hamburg’s new landmark is the world-known concert tickets for the Elbphilharmonie, still in hot demand.
Somehow, the “Elphi”, as the people of Hamburg call their famous concert hall on the river Elbe, loving seems to be in Hamburg omnipresent: whether as a four-Meter-high replica of the Museum for Hamburg history. Whether as a reproduction in miniature Wonderland, the world’s largest model railway system. Or in the Original: Spectacular is the building with the curved glass facade stands on the Pedestal of the former Kaispeicher on the Western tip of the port city. The construction of the Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron is now in one breath with the famous Opera house in Sydney. And is a magnet for the tourists.

#Daily Drone: Elbphilharmonie
Since its opening on 11. January of 2017, the Elbphilharmonie, the whole city of Hamburg in the Top Rankings of the guide are on the rise. The house should be from the beginning an elite temple of the muses, but “A house for all”. The bill seems to have risen: The concerts have visited in the past two years, around 1.8 million people. Classical music stars such as Anne-Sophie mutter, Hélène Grimaud, Jonas Kaufmann and Daniel Barenboim occurred, but also Underground greats such as the Band “einstürzende Neubauten” or the Indie-Rock-Stars of “The National”. The Elbjazz Festival brought visitors here for the swing. The Great hall had in the past two years, an occupancy rate of around 99 percent. And, as before, is it hard to concert tickets get.

Concert Highlights In 2019
Alone at the International music festival (27. April – 29. May) play with musicians from all over the world, over 50 concerts in the “Elphi”. A focus on the works of the Austro-Hungarian composer György Ligeti.
The Easter Festival (17. to 23. April), moves this time the city of Venice musically into the field of view – works by Antonio Vivaldi, and Claudio Monteverdi. Also, the Reeperbahn festival (18. to 21. September) cooperates in 2019, again with the Hamburg Philharmonic hall. And of course there is a reunion with Anne-Sophie mutter and other classic stars.
“Who was there, obviously wants to come again and again,” said Hamburg’s Senator for Culture about the musical flagship of the city. And this applies not only to the artist. In the heart of the visitors and Hamburg, the Elbphilharmonie has conquered a firm place. The Elbphilharmonie will also increase happy times on the roof, as the latest Figures of the Hamburg cultural authority documents.
