Agenda

We warmly welcome all Atto primo members to the upcoming events of this season. Several times a year, a variety of occasions offer the opportunity for personal exchange and for forging new connections.

We traditionally open the new season with the festive Atto primo Annual Dinner. In addition, our members are invited to attend four specially selected premières, each accompanied by a champagne reception and an exclusive introduction to the work.

Our Meet formats provide unique insights into the artistic processes at the Zurich Opera House: behind the scenes, members discover fascinating details first-hand and gain access to perspectives that usually remain hidden.

Atto primo brings together culture, enjoyment and encounter – making every event a truly special experience.

Please send registration and ticket bookings to attoprimo@opernhaus.ch.
