Elbphilharmonie »Catwalk«

Backstage Videos

Exploring the Elbphilharmonie – the social media series »Elbphilharmonie Backstage«

What is the so-called ‘catwalk’ in the Grand Hall of the Elbphilharmonie? From where are large light shows controlled? What is the acoustical secret of the seats? What 's going on here at night? And how does a typical day at the Elbphilharmonie run for an international touring orchestra?

The new social media series »Elbphilharmonie Backstage« provides exciting insights into the processes at the concert hall, introduces the team, reveals hidden doors to secret rooms and invites you to get a taste of backstage life, at least digitally.

 

Note: The videos will be published here monthly.

The »Elbphilharmonie Backstage« series is supported by our Principal Sponsor Julius Baer. As principal sponsor of the Elbphilharmonie & Laeiszhalle Hamburg, Julius Baer supports innovative formats, various concert series and talent competitions.
