The "Stiftung Zukunft Opernhaus Zürich" is a charitable, tax-exempt foundation under Swiss law. It is supervised by the Occupational Pension and Foundation Supervisory Authority of the Canton of Zurich (BVS). The foundation was established on 12 December 2023 to support the forthcoming renovation and redevelopment of the Opera House under the title "Zukunft Oper".

The "Zukunft Oper" project aims to secure the Opera House’s future and, beyond that, create added value for society, urban development, tourism and Zurich as a business location. In the first half of the 2030s, a new building will be constructed directly next to the Opera House to address the severe shortage of space for opera operations. With its striking architecture facing the lake and Sechseläutenplatz, and its publicly accessible spaces, the building is intended to become another landmark of Zurich. The most compelling design will be selected in 2027 as part of an international architectural competition.

How We Work

We ensure that the funds entrusted to us are used effectively and efficiently, achieving the greatest possible impact in line with the foundation’s objectives. We provide the public with transparent information about our activities. The foundation’s operations are guided by the principles of the Swiss Foundation Code. We maintain partnerships with associations and institutions to help achieve our objectives.

The Foundation Board and Executive Management work closely with the Board of Directors of Opernhaus Zürich AG, representatives of the Opera House, representatives of the Directorate of Justice and Home Affairs, and specialists from the Building Department of the Canton of Zurich. Donors are regularly informed about the progress of the project.

Through targeted fundraising activities, we approach private and institutional donors. Thanks to their generous support, we can make an important contribution to securing the Opera House’s future and enhancing Zurich’s appeal.

Support the Project

Opernhaus Zürich AG and the Canton of Zurich are planning the building project as a public-private partnership, involving cooperation between the public sector, sponsors and private donors. The "Stiftung Zukunft Opernhaus Zürich" foundation, established specifically for this purpose, aims to make a significant financial contribution and help bring the project to fruition. The foundation will bring together individuals who see this project for the future as an opportunity for the Greater Zurich area and are committed to ensuring that Zurich continues to be recognised for innovative music theatre of the highest international standard.

You too can help shape the future of the Opera House. With your donation, you support the foundation’s work and contribute to the realisation of the building project.
