Abstract
What is offen8?
After the summer break, the beginning of the new season is celebrated with a big party for young and old. During a whole day we show a varied program in the opera house, on the rehearsal stages and in our workshops. Open not only means the opening of the new season, but also the opening of the opera house for all interested parties - both on 21 September and throughout the season.
Do I need a ticket for every event at the season opening party?
No, many programme items can be visited without a ticket. Some events have limited space, so tickets will be issued in the pavilions at Sechseläutenplatz 30 minutes before the start of the event, all free of charge of course. It's worth coming early! The events for which tickets are issued and for which tickets are not, are noted on the flyer.
Can tickets be reserved and are seats allocated?
Ticket issuing is based on the «first come, first served» principle. The tickets are not numbered by seats, at events on the main stage of the Opera House the first in line receive tickets for the parquet, the next sitting in the gallery, etc.
How do I get to Zurich Opera House?
We recommend travelling to Zurich Bellevue or Zurich Stadelhofen by public transport. There are only a limited number of parking spaces in the vicinity of Sechseläutenplatz, for example in the Opera car park.
How do I find the «Spiegelsaal» or the «Montagehalle»?
Besides the information on the map, all venues are well labeled. If you have any questions, please contact Opera House staff or go to the information stand on Sechseläutenplatz. The assembly hall in the workshop building is only a few steps away from the Opera House at Seerosenstrasse 4. 4 floors of studios give an exciting impression of the craftsmanship of the stage builders and are absolutely worth a visit on this day!
