For the first time, the Zurich Opera House and Zurich Insurance present the popular open-air format "oper für alle" over three consecutive days. Over an entire weekend in June, audiences can enjoy live broadcasts of an opera and a ballet performance, as well as an open-air concert with the Orchestra of the Zurich Opera House at Sechseläutenplatz, with free admission. In addition to a varied supporting programme each evening, the newly founded Children’s Opera Orchestra will also perform as part of the event.
The programme for the 2025/26 season features two new productions: Cathy Marston’s ballet "Romeo und Julia" and Richard Wagner’s opera "Tannhäuser" in a production by director Thorleifur Örn Arnarsson. Gianandrea Noseda conducts the Orchestra of the Zurich Opera House in the large open-air concert, with tenor Benjamin Bernheim appearing as soloist.
