Grand Hall in the Elbphilharmonie

The Elbphilharmonie is a concert house in the HafenCity quarter of Hamburg, Germany, on the Grasbrook peninsula of the Elbe River. It is one of the largest and most acoustically advanced concert halls in the world. It is popularly nicknamed Elphi.

The new glassy construction resembles a hoisted sail, water wave or quartz crystal; it sits on top of an old warehouse building (Kaispeicher A, built 1963) near the historical Speicherstadt and is designed by architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron. It is the tallest inhabited building in Hamburg, with a final height of 108 metres (354 ft).

The Elbphilharmonie was officially inaugurated with concerts of the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra and a light show on 11 January 2017

Another spectacular image and place!
I was intrigued and had to look up how many guests it seats: 2,100 in the Grand Hall, according to their website.
I also saw a glance of the exterior of this building and now I am anticipating your image(s) of it!

Thank you very much, Frank, for your friendly and constructive comment.
I must have a look to see what pictures I have of the exterior facade of this house. If there are any pictures worth editing, I will upload them.
Best regards Herbert
