Amongst other activities, we sponsor Opera for All
We launched “Oper für Alle” with the Zürich Opera House in 2014. Thisopen-air event and community outreach program aims to bring opera to a wider audience. Admission is free as and the event is broadcast live on a giant screen in downtown Zürich. The latest event, on Saturday, June 20, 2015, attracted 10,000 opera buffs and potential new fans to a live performance of Giuseppe Verdi's "Aida" at Sechseläutenplatz in Zürich.
In the run-up to the 2015 "Opera for All," we sent the rapper on a special mission to discover whether opera really is something that everyone can enjoy during which he debated the similarities and differences between opera and rap with opera singers Regula Mühlemann and Ruben Drole. It was the start of a thrilling musical journey that culminated in a joint song that was an online sensation and firm favorite among the audience at Sechseläutenplatz.
