About us
Compagnie
To mark the start of the season, the Friends supported Ballett Zürich’s new visual identity – photographed by Lucia Hunziker – with a financial contribution. We are delighted with the beautiful new images. What a wonderful company!
From around the world
Since the 2025/26 season, the Friends of Ballett Zürich have been providing and funding German language classes for the company, held at the Opera House and flexibly tailored to fit the dancers’ schedules. We are delighted to have been able to fulfil this wish for the dancers.
Support
Cathy Marston opens the season with her reinterpretation of Shakespeare’s «A Midsummer Night’s Dream». Mendelssohn’s music meets Gabriel Prokofiev’s Concerto for Turntables and Orchestra No. 1. We are delighted to provide financial support for this first new production of the season.

News
See you very soon!
Our members are invited to the Annual General Meeting on Wednesday, 7 October 2026, in the Spiegelsaal at Zurich Opera House. Afterwards, they will enjoy a special behind-the-scenes glimpse into rehearsals for Ballett Zürich’s opening premiere, «A Midsummer Night’s Dream».
Young Members
Unsere Community junger Ballettfans zwischen 17 und 30 Jahren wächst weiter! Exklusiv für junge Mitglieder konzipierte Events verbinden Ballettgenuss und Einblicke hinter die Kulissen mit Austausch und Networking. Ein besonderes Highlight ist der zweite «Zurich Youth Summit» vom 15. bis 18. April 2027 – ein gemeinsames Wochenende rund um Kunst, Kultur, Oper und Ballett.
«Training, Rehearsal, Lunch»
At our popular «Training, Rehearsal, Lunch» event, members at Patron level and above enjoy an exclusive glimpse into the dancers’ «living room»: the ballet studio. They experience the company at work on a new choreography and discover first-hand the precision and dedication it takes to make dance appear effortless. The event takes place three times a year; all dates can be found in the agenda.
«Opernhaus des Jahres 2025»
Zurich Opera House has been named «Opernhaus des Jahres 2025». The award honours the successful era under Andreas Homoki and at the same time marks the beginning of a new artistic chapter under Artistic Director Matthias Schulz – balancing tradition, excellence and new perspectives. A great achievement for all of us – opera, ballet and orchestra!
Zurich Opera House-App for members
The Friends Circle is also jumping on the digital bandwagon! You can find all your personal Friends Circle events for the entire season in your Opera House app. Download, log in, and register – it’s that easy! Need help? The office is happy to assist you.
Simplified access to tickets
Zurich Opera House is a member of «FEDORA», an international network for opera and ballet. Members of the «Friends of Ballett Zürich» at Donator level and above benefit from easier access to tickets at other opera houses in Switzerland and abroad. Please contact our office, which will be happy to connect you with the relevant local contact.
