A home for muses, a place for art The Zurich Opera House was the first Opera House in all of… more
The Zurich Opera House was the first Opera House in all of Europe that had electric lighting. The neo-baroque theatre building in front of the Sechseläuten green space on the shore of Lake Zürich was built in 1891 upon 1,800 oak piles. The first opera performed there was Richard Wagner’s ‘Lohengrin’.
The history of the Zurich Opera House is full of highlights: Wilhelm Furtwängler started his career here, and Richard Wagner’s ‘Parsifal’ was performed here in 1913 – the first time it had ever been performed outside Bayreuth. Ferruccio Busoni, Paul Hindemith, Richard Strauss, Othmar Schoeck, Arthur Honegger, Frank Martin and other famous composers all influenced the development of Zürich’s musical and theatrical life.
The Zurich Opera House is considered one of the best venues in the world for opera. In more than 270 performances per season, such international singing stars as Anna Netrebko, Cecilia Bartoli or Jonas Kaufmann and many others can be experienced live at the Zurich Opera House.
> Repertoire Zürich Opera House
The Zurich Opera House has just come up with a very special service for culture lovers: it is the first European opera house to offer its guests from abroad a full service including an opera ticket, travel expenses (return journey by train with Deutsche Bahn or by plane on SWISS), the ZürichCARD and an overnight stay at a hotel. Those interested will be advised personally by employees of the Opera House.

Zoological Museum of the University of Zürich
Here both grown-ups and children can look through microscopes to study the beauty of tiny invertebrates or listen to the sounds of over 300 animals - from humming insects to whale songs. The variety of shapes, colors and structures in the animal world creates a sensation of awe and pleasure. The skeleton of a mammoth and the many models of rare and extinct species remind us of the changes taking place in the animal kingdom and of our responsibility for nature. Slide-shows, films and videos complete the exhibition.
