Opera House for Everyone
For the first time, the Zurich Opera House will present the popular open-air format “Opernhaus für alle” over three consecutive days. Throughout an entire weekend in June, audiences can enjoy live screenings of an opera and a ballet performance, as well as an open-air concert featuring the opera orchestra on Sechseläutenplatz. In addition to a diverse pre-program each evening, the newly founded Children’s Opera Orchestra will also perform as part of the event.
