The Zurich Opera House opened in 1891; the building was designed by the Viennese bureau of Fellner and Helmer, and the auditorium seats around 1,100. Its neoclassical facade with medallions of Wagner, Verdi and Mozart faces Sechseläutenplatz by the lake. The stage ranks among Europe's most technologically advanced; the season runs from September to June, and premiere tickets sell out early.
