Zürich Opera House, Opera house at Sechseläutenplatz, Zürich, Switzerland.
The Zürich Opera House is a theater building with a neoclassical facade of white and gray stone located in the city center. The interior seats about 1,100 spectators in a hall with neo-rococo styling.
The building was constructed after a fire destroyed the previous theater in 1890. It was the first opera house in Europe to feature electrical lighting.
The house serves as a center for musical theater and draws audiences from across the region. Here opera lovers and theater visitors gather for performances that shape the city's cultural life.
The building is centrally located and easily walkable from the main train station. Visitors should allow time for arrival and explore the surrounding square.
One of the first major renovations occurred in the early 1900s and upgraded the stage with modern technology of that era. This investment made the house a leading venue for major European productions.
