Past performances

Mescolare, mix.

In our new series, we mix art with culinary delights, tradition with modernity and the known with the unknown. In astounding, stimulating and enjoyable evenings, the young artists of the International Opera Studio and the Orchestra Academy of the Philharmonia Zurich present themselves in an informal, intimate setting. Between the musical blocks, René Hostettler, chef at Restaurant Belcanto, will take up the theme of the evening with culinary delights in a specially created 3-course menu. Mescolare invites you to discover, marvel and laugh.

We look forward to welcoming you to our restaurant Belcanto.

International Opera Studio

Über uns

The International Opera Studio IOS was established in 1961 under the patronage of the Friends of Zurich Opera and has since then become one of the most important educational institutions for budding young opera singers. Every year, young singers from all over the world are given the opportunity to earn their artistic spurs under competent instruction.

The IOS thus represents an important transitional phase between completing their training as singers and entering the professional world. Besides receiving vocal training, stagecraft and master classes from prominent singers, important directors and conductors, students have the opportunity to take on smaller and larger roles on the Opera House’s main stage. This season, the IOS’s own production will be of Rossini’s opera Il barbiere di Siviglia at the Theater Winterthur. The singers will introduce themselves at a concert gala on Monday 8 July 2019.

Orchestra Academy

Über uns

In existence at Zurich Opera House since the 1997/98 season, the Orchestra Academy gives musicians from Switzerland and abroad the opportunity to gain their first experiences in a professional orchestra for two years.

The students are actively involved in the day-to-day work of the Philharmonia Zurich, prepare the pieces they are to perform under the instruction of their mentors (first-chair players and soloists from the Orchestra), are given specialist training for auditions, as well as the opportunity to play chamber music in the widest variety of combinations. Many former members of the Academy have already made the transition to excellent orchestras.
