It is Hamburg's landmark: the Elbphilharmonie concert hall. The 2024/2025 season will also bring artistic highlights and big names to the Elbe. Of course, works by Arnold Schönberg and Anton Bruckner are also on the programme to mark the anniversary years. For example, former Hamburg General Music Director Ingo Metzmacher will be conducting the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra on 9 November 2024, conducting Bruckner's first mass and Schönberg's unfinished oratorio ‘Die Jakobsleiter’ in the Great Hall.

It is the last year of Georges Delnon's opera directorship at the Hamburg State Opera. On the 17th of November 2024, ‘Der Freischütz’ will premiere in Andreas Kriegenburg's production, which was originally scheduled for 2021 but could not take place due to the pandemic. The romantic drama continues to fascinate audiences to this day and has become one of the most frequently performed operas on German-speaking stages.
