Virtual tours, concerts, clips of selected musicians: in the wake of the Corona crisis, the Hamburg Elbe Philharmonic has moved its musical offerings onto the internet. And the programme is very impressive. Almost every lunchtime there is a guided tour through the individual halls of the opera house; and in the evenings the audience can enjoy streams of a wide variety of concerts, including half-hour performances that are recorded in the currently empty Great Hall. Classical music fans will certainly not be disappointed.
Join in the ballet training
If you want to get some exercise at home, try visiting the Hamburg Ballet's homepage, where the dancers keep their audience on their toes with virtual ballet and fitness training sessions. In this way they combine classical dance and music with challenging work-out sessions at home.
