Harpa - Striking New Conference Hall
Harpa opened its doors on May 4th and is a striking addition to the Icelandic and European cultural and conference scene. Situated on the picturesque Reykjavík harbor front, Harpa will have a unique profile as being the most important performance venue in the country as well as an international conference center.
It will offer a diverse range of performances, from classical to contemporary, rock, pop and jazz and it will be home to the Iceland Symphony Orchestra and The Icelandic Opera. Harpa will serve as a tourism and business hub, providing flexible facilities for programs and international events.
Harpa's façade is designed by renowned visual artist Olafur Eliasson, and will be a landmark in the redevelopment of Reykjavik's historic harbor and waterfront area, and a symbol of Iceland's renewed dynamism.
