Elbphilharmonie aims to be a 'Concert Hall for Everyone', the publicly accessible Plaza opens on 4 November 2016 and the Elbphilharmonie’s concert programme is intended to appeal to all with its carefully structured design, quality and accessibility. The building itself promises to be highly striking, but the opening festival includes all the local orchestras and many visitors in a highly enticing series of concerts. In many ways they need to be, the hall was supposed to open in 2010 and since then costs have rocketed (the final budget being around ten times the original planned).
