Hamburger Camerata / Lir Vaginsky / Gianluca Febo

The special concert by the Hamburg Camerata is dedicated to the magic of nature and music – how to preserve it, and how to rediscover it. »What a magical thing spring is, with its suddenness, its splendid force!« wrote Pyotr Tchaikovsky in 1876. With his cycle The Seasons, he created small musical monuments to such fleeting moments throughout the year: an evening by the fire, a snowy sleigh ride, the exuberance of carnival – each scene is rendered in Tchaikovsky’s music with captivating beauty.
For German-British composer Max Richter, the focus is on re-enchantment. Like many concertgoers, Richter’s love for classical music began with Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons. And like for many, that initial magic eventually wore off: »You hear it on TV, in commercials, as elevator or hold music. That’s how the work loses its magic.« With »Recomposed by Max Richter: Vivaldi – The Four Seasons«, Richter breathes new life into the piece through the lens of our time. Elements of Vivaldi’s four violin concertos merge with ambient and minimal music. One delighted critic called it »Vivaldi for the 21st century.«

Hamburger DOM - Winterdom

The DOM is a piece of Hamburg tradition and guarantees games, fun, thrills and nostalgia. The term goes back to a gathering of traders, craftsmen and jugglers who - after some friction - were given the right to stay in the Marien Cathedral when the weather was bad since 1337. At the end of the 19th century, the showmen found their "new home" on the Heiligengeistfeld. On Fridays at around 10:00 p.m. there is a big fireworks display!

Family Day : Every Wednesday reduced prices for all visitors
Fireworks : Every Friday at 10:30 p.m

Harry Potter und das verwunschene Kind

Alohomora! The new play "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" opens up to you. The Broadway-acclaimed play is now also thrilling at Hamburg's Theater am Großmarkt. Experience breathtaking magic at "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child," "the most spectacular show ever seen in a theater" (Süddeutsche Zeitung). The eighth story in the Harry Potter saga is the only one you can only experience live at the Theater am Großmarkt in Hamburg.

There's a lot of magic going on in the world of Harry Potter, and this translates to the stage of the performance. With surprising effects and impressive scenery, the audience is amazed: Wasn't there real magic at work?

The play is musically accompanied by four suites, each of which characterizes one of the plays' acts. Grammy and Ivor Novello Award winner Imogen Heap created the music specifically for HARRY POTTER and the Cursed Child.

Nineteen years after the events at Hogwarts made famous by the books and films, Harry Potter is a 37-year-old father of three and works in the Law Enforcement Department of the Ministry of Magic. The youngest son, Albus Severus, follows in the awed footsteps of his father, who once won the heroic battle against Lord Voldemort, at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry Potter's past keeps catching up with him, as his son, of all people, befriends the son of his former archenemy, Draco Malfoy. In a thrilling twist, Albus steals a Time-Turner against Harry Potter's wishes, merging the past with the present. The country's long-fought peace is in jeopardy, and Harry Potter's adventure continues with plenty of magic, numerous dark spells, and ultimately the hope that everything will turn out for the best.
