Philharmonia Zürich

Philharmonia Zürich

1985 entstand in Folge der Trennung des traditionsreichen Tonhalle- und Theaterorchesters das Orchester der Oper Zürich. 2012, mit Beginn der Intendanz von Andreas Homoki und dem Amtsantritt des neuen Generalmusikdirektors Fabio Luisi, wird das Orchester der Oper Zürich zur Philharmonia Zürich. Pro Saison ist das Orchester in rund 250 Opern- und Ballettvorstellungen des Opernhauses Zürich zu hören. Als Podium für das Konzertrepertoire werden zusätzlich die Philharmonischen Konzerte veranstaltet. Soiréen und Kammermusikmatinéen ergänzen das künstlerische Spektrum des Orchesters. Bevor Fabio Luisi mit der Saison 2012/13 als Generalmusikdirektor die künstlerische Leitung des Orchesters übernommen hat, haben u. a. Franz Welser-Möst (1995-2008, ab 2005 als Generalmusikdirektor) und zuletzt Daniele Gatti als Chefdirigent (2009-2012) das Orchester geleitet. 2000/01 fanden die Beständigkeit der Leistungen des Orchesters der Oper Zürich und die Breite seines Könnens mit der Wahl zum «Orchester des Jahres» in der Umfrage der Zeitschrift «Opernwelt» weit verbreitete internationale Anerkennung.

Abstract

It's been known for a while: The world-renowned conductor Gianandrea Noseda will take up the post of General Music Director at Zurich Opera House in the 2021/22 season. The Italian, who is currently Chief Conductor of the National Symphony Orchestra in Washington, D.C. and was a great success as Music Director of the Teatro Regio Torino from 2007 to 2018, has already stood at the podium of the Philharmonia Zurich several times, including in 2016/17 in the new production of Sergei Prokofiev's opera The Fiery Angel and in a revival of Giuseppe Verdi's Macbeth.
In January 2020, Gianandrea Noseda will conduct a Philharmonic concert for the first time in his position as designated general music director. In addition to Franz Schubert's overture of Die Zauberharfe (Rosamunde), the programme includes the Symphony in A minor op. 56, the so-called Scottish, by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy. Mendelssohn began working on this symphony in 1829 under the impression of a trip to Scotland, completing the work, which is often regarded as his greatest achievement in the field of symphony, but only 12 years later. The virtuoso Rococo Variations by Pjotr Tchaikovsky also promise to be a special highlight of the concert: The young Armenian cellist Narek Hakhnazaryan can be experienced as a soloist.
