"A Night at the Opera" is the new benefit event in support of the Zurich Opera House’s work with young talent. For one night, the opera house becomes a glamorous setting for artistic highlights, dance, culinary experiences and inspiring encounters. A silent auction also offers the opportunity to bid for lasting memories of the evening. All proceeds support the opera house’s outreach work – helping to nurture emerging talent and to open up opera, ballet and concert experiences to the audiences of tomorrow.
