For the perfect arrival
Your musical experience begins with a boat trip across the Elbe. On the opposite bank after your "short harbour tour", the brand new Stage Theater an der Elbe and a unique view of Hamburg's skyline await you. The new theatre is an architectural jewel. Its exterior features 10,000 shiny stainless steel shingles and a glass façade up to twelve metres high. Inside, the two-storey foyer with open gallery, appealing bars and contemporary art invites you to linger; the highest niveau of musical artistry will unfold in the beautiful hall with 1,850 seats.
