Abstract

The Orchester der Oper Zürich starts the concert season under a new, old name. After thirteen years as Philharmonia Zurich, the orchestra will return to its original moniker. The Philharmonic Concerts will once again alternate between the Opernhaus and the Tonhalle Zürich.

The focus of the seven Philharmonic concerts is on the greats of the repertoire, from Robert Schumann and Johannes Brahms to Edward Elgar, Francis Poulenc, and Sergei Prokofiev. Soloists such as violinist Renaud Capuçon and cellist Nicolas Altstaedt, pianists Lucas and Arthur Jussen, violinist James Ehnes and Swiss soprano Regula Mühlemann perform as guests. The orchestra is led by General Music Director Gianandrea Noseda along with conductors such as Pablo Heras-Casado, Elim Chan, Daniele Rustioni, Riccardo Minasi and Tugan Sokhiev.

In the series by in-house period-instrument ensemble La Scintilla, three major figures in early music – Emmanuelle Haïm, Enrico Onofri and Stefano Montanari – return. The new festival «Zürich Barock» offers several concert highlights before Easter (see p. 158). To mark the end of the season, Gianandrea Noseda will conduct a big open-air concert on Sechseläutenplatz as part of the «Opernhaus für alle» series.
