Opernhaus Zürich

The Opernhaus Zürich stands as an architectural and artistic landmark on Sechseläutenplatz, a neoclassical gem built in 1891 by the renowned Viennese architects Fellner & Helmer. Home to the Zurich Opera, Ballett Zürich, and Philharmonia Zürich, this intimate 1,100-seat venue has earned the distinction of Opera Company of the Year in both 2014 and 2025, cementing its position among Europe's most significant opera institutions. A pioneer in theatrical innovation—it was the first opera house in Europe to feature electrical lighting—the Opernhaus Zürich continues to present world-class productions within its exquisitely appointed neo-Baroque auditorium.
