The Elbphilharmonie Hamburg has released an interactive drone video the Herzog & de Meuron-designed building In preparation for their grand opening on January 11/12,lets you experience in two different speeds: adagio and presto (slow or fast).
By using the spacebar you can switch between speeds, the footage takes you on a tour up the curving escalator, on to the elevated terrace, around the building and finally into the main concert hall, where the drones meet back up in a dramatic finish.

A Short Story of Elbphilharmonie :
After years of waiting, Herzog & de Meuronâs Elbphilharmonie concert hall in Hamburg, Germany, finally has been given an opening date.
The building will open its doors to the public with grand opening concerts by NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra on January 11 and 12, 2017, followed by a three-week festival featuring the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra and the Berlin-based band EinstĂźrzende Neubauten.
The soaring glass structure, constructed on top of a historic warehouse along the River Elbe, was first envisioned in 2003, but rising costs and legal issues with the contractor led the project to be put on hold.
In 2012, the philharmonie was the subject of an installation at the Venice Biennale, where the building model was surrounded by uncensored press reports demonstrating the massive amounts of public debate that had already plagued the project for years.
Now nearly ready for public occupation, the building will house three concert halls, a large music education area, a panoramic viewing platform with views of the city, and a hotel. The Grand Hall, the largest of the three concert halls, will seat 2,100 and features an acoustic environment designed by internationally acclaimed acoustician Yasuhisa Toyota.
A virtual tour of the project can be found here, with more information about the project on the Elbphilharmonieâs website, here.
