To the Opera House
on Any Budget
The Opernhaus now has an app!
The Swiss illustrator François Berthoud shaped the visual face of Zurich Opera House under the directorship of Andreas Homoki: he designed 152 posters - each of them tailored to the respective piece, always against a monochrome background and instantly recognisable. An exhibition is now showing all the posters that the star illustrator has created for opera and ballet since 2012. A powerful echo of 13 years of musical theatre - and a visual homage to the Homoki era.
«Emergence» is inspired by the collective behavior of a swarm of bees, «Infra» dives into the pulsating life of a big city, «In the Middle» shows the dynamics of deceleration and acceleration.
