Right in the middle of the Elbe river, on the western tip of the HafenCity, is Hamburg's concert hall: the Elbphilharmonie. A shimmering glass structure stands 110 metres high over the brick body of a former cocoa warehouse. At the heart of the building is a world-class concert hall, which has a height of 50 metres and a capacity of 2150 – a spectacular stage for Hamburg's vibrant classical music scene and for stars from all over the world.
