Opéra de Lausanne
The Opéra de Lausanne was founded in 1879 and performs in the Théâtre Municipal, a beautiful 19th-century building seating around 880. Despite its intimate scale, it presents a prestigious programme of opera and ballet productions, often in partnership with other Swiss and international houses, and is a cherished cultural institution on Lake Geneva.
Opernhaus Zürich
The Zurich Opera House (Opernhaus Zürich) opened in 1891 on the shores of Lake Zurich and is one of the foremost opera houses in Europe. Seating 1,100, it is home to the Zurich Opera, the Zurich Ballet, and the Philharmonia Zürich. The house is known for high production standards and presents a rich programme of opera, ballet, and concerts throughout the season.
Tonhalle Zürich
The Tonhalle in Zürich is one of Switzerland's premier concert halls and home to the Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich. The original building, inaugurated in 1895 and designed by Fellner & Helmer, seats 1,546 in a richly decorated hall. After a major renovation completed in 2021, the Tonhalle restored its historic grandeur and improved its acoustics, cementing its reputation as one of Europe's finest venues.
