Zurich and classical music
The Zurich Opera house has a great program with fantastic ballets and operas each season!
Before the modern Opernhaus, the city had the Aktientheater. This theatre was very appreciated by Wagner during his German exile. The theatre burnt down in 1890.
The city built a new theatre, the Stadttheater Zurich, which opened in 1891. This theatre was the main venue of the city, offering theatrical performances, as well as operas and concerts until 1925, when it was renamed Opernhaus Zurich. The theatrical performances were moved into another venue.
One of the most outstanding events of its history was the “re-staging” for the first time of the operas of Monteverdi and Mozart performed on period instruments at the instigation of the pioneer Nikolaus Harnoncourt supported by the legendary stage settings of Jean-Pierre Ponnelle. These productions contributed to the renaissance of Baroque opera and the rediscovery of a vast repertoire.
Between 1967 and 1984, the Opernhaus needed major renovations. Wagner’s “Die Meistersigner von Nürnberg” was the first opera performed at the grand reopening. Today the Opernhaus is one of the few theatres that can pride itself on presenting the greatest stars of the opera world in one and the same season. With its well-thought out and varied programming, the audience has every reason to be satisfied.
Zurich Tonhalle
Built in 1895, the concert hall has become a cult venue. It has stunning acoustics. The Orchestra of the Zurich Tonhalle is Switzerland’s oldest symphony orchestra. These days it has 101 musicians and puts on over 90 performances per season.
