The opera house looked pretty imposing at the square in front of it. And that makes it stand out from the surrounding buildings. During my visit, there were doing preparations for the film festival, but those did not interfere the enjoyment of admiring the building.

If you like ballets then here is the place for you. There is also a free tour day when you can enter and enjoy it's beautiful interior Alternatively you can take in the architecture from the outside. A truly beautiful one. It is a very short walk from Grossmunster to this building. Enjoy.

We stayed very close to the opera house but could not make a trip to one of the operas. However, we witnessed open opera (house) day. The vast area in front of opera house was converted into a seating area, large projector in place and everyone enjoyed the free opera. It was fully packed with people, family and groups. Amazing experience for us.

I had an amazing experience here. The venue is stellar! I booked a high chair seat without realizing and the staff kindly advised me the performance wasn’t sold out and that I could move to be more comfortable. The opera was excellent - my first opera ever.

This is an architectural gem as a small opera house - about 1 200 seats. Go to a show if you can to enjoy the fine acoustics and orchestra.

Just around 10 min walk from the Grossmunster Cathedral is this 19 c Opera house.
It is set on a huge plateau at the edge of old town Zurich, just where the Zurich lake begins.
We wanted to have an inside tour, but it was not offered that day. Anyway, on a clear March day we observed it from the plateau where're many public chairs placed.

This beatiful theatre , as the Phoenix rose again after the flames.
In 1889 it was destroyd by flames and in 1891 was finished what we can see today.
In this theatre , Richard Wagner represented for the first time the Parsifal.

The Zúrich Opera House has been the home of the Zürich Opera since 1891. It also houses the Bernhard-Theater Zürich and the Zürich Ballet. Currently (July 2020) the house is under renovation, so difficult to get closer to the building. But the Sechseläutenplatz just in front of it provides a lot of space to the impressing building.
