With the new Hamburg Corona Ordinance, the start of this year’s concert season of the Elbphilharmonie is finally set. The house on the Elbe will be able to play in front of an audience again from September 1, 2020. The concert season will be opened with 620 guests in the large hall by the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra under Alan Gilbert, as the Norddeutscher Rundfunk announced on Thursday.
The orchestra begins with Johannes Brahms’ Symphony No. 2. Sergei Prokofiev’s Violin Concerto No. 1 will also be heard. The remaining Brahms symphonies are to follow by September 5. The four symphonies have been part of the regular repertoire since the orchestra was founded 75 years ago.
The season also starts in “Elphi” under special conditions: the concerts will last about an hour and there will be no break. Most concerts should be played twice in a row. Mouth-nose masks must be worn on all walking paths, not in the squares and in the foyers. Presale starts on August 4th.
