Chamber music concerts are an important part of the program. In various formations and ensembles, the musicians of the Orchester der Oper Zürich explore a wide repertoire. At close quarters and in intimate spaces, audiences experience the intensity of the musicians as they make music. Each of the nine chamber music programs in the Spiegelsaal has its own individual focus: classics of the genre meet rarely heard works, and early music meets crossover. The «Zur Premiere» concert series feature programs specially tailored to a corresponding opera premiere. Chamber music concerts usually take place both at Sunday matinees and on Monday evenings. In addition, three special concerts on the Studiobühne stage shed light on influential composers from the first and second half of the 20th century, as well as the present. On the occasion of the premiere of Paul Hindemith’s opera «Cardillac», works by the composer, who lived in Zurich for a time, will be performed together with Leoš Janáček’s wind sextet «Mládi». To mark the 100th birthday of American avant-gardist Morton Feldman (1926-1987), the Opera Nova ensemble will perform his legendary trio «For Philip Guston», which lasts over four hours, in a special concert setting with a comfortable reclining area. One week before the Swiss premiere of Olga Neuwirth’s new music theater piece «Monster's Paradise» Opera Nova presents a portrait concert of the Austrian composer's chamber music works.
