BERLIN—Fans of Germany's renowned Berlin Philharmonic can now follow the orchestra's performances from anywhere in the world through a new "digital concert hall" accessible via the Internet.
Tuesday's performance -- directed by Sir Simon Rattle and featuring Johannes Brahms' First Symphony -- will be the first to be broadcast online from the philharmonic's home concert hall in the German capital.
Single tickets to follow the online performance live, or to access it on demand at any point in a 48-hour period after the broadcast, cost euro9.90 ($13.45). A season ticket for euro149 gives viewers access to all concerts during the season.
The concerts can be viewed at http://dch.berliner-philharmoniker.de/#/en/.
