Hamburg, Germany
The new concert hall for Hamburg will count 2 150 seats, and have a second performance space with a capacity between 250 and 550 seats, in various seating configurations. In addition to thes performance spaces, there will be rehearsal spaces, including one for small-scale concerts, an extensive backstage area, as well as facilities for broadcasting.
