As a member of the Friends’ Association, you’re closer to the action! You immerse yourself in the world of musical theatre and get to know the people on stage and behind the scenes personally. The Friends of the Zurich Opera support the opera house and the International Opera Studio – a training programme for emerging talent – both ideologically and financially. In the opening season of Artistic Director Matthias Schulz, the association is supporting Mozart’s «La clemenza di Tito», directed by Damiano Michieletto, as well as – in keeping with tradition – the International Opera Studio’s production at Theater Winterthur: Puccini’s «Gianni Schicchi».

As a member, you enjoy numerous benefits and services, such as exclusive ticket access, and a special closeness to the opera house and its artists through rehearsal visits, backstage tours, events with the Artistic Director, and concerts by the International Opera Studio.
