With dazzling variety and a wide range of formats, the extensive concert programme of the 2026/27 season offers a wealth of musical experiences. The Orchestra of the Zurich Opera House can be heard in full symphonic formation in seven Philharmonic Concerts, held alternately at the Zurich Opera House and the Tonhalle. Internationally renowned soloists and guest conductors perform major works ranging from Beethoven to Strauss, alongside fascinating discoveries from the concert repertoire. A particular highlight is the Prokofiev Cycle, presented in collaboration with the Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich. Three concerts by Orchestra La Scintilla on period instruments, as well as a series of gala and special concerts – including performances by the Children’s Opera Orchestra – further enrich the diverse programme.
In smaller and individual ensembles, musicians from the Orchestra of the Zurich Opera House can be heard in the popular chamber concerts, held on Sunday mornings and Monday evenings. Ensemble Opera Nova brings works from the late 20th and 21st centuries to the Studio Stage. The concert programme is rounded off by song recitals featuring some of the most beautiful and distinctive voices of our time.
