University and opera house intensify partnership in Zurich
Zurich Opera House and Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK) are further expanding their close collaboration with a framework agreement.
According to the ZHdK press release, the partnership "builds on successful collaborations of recent years, for example between ZHdK/taZ and Ballett Zürich, and will expand these across disciplines and departments in the future". Plans include joint formats in the new venue of the opera house in Oerlikon, the development of digital projects, participation in festivals such as Zurich Baroque as well as symposia, research and networking initiatives.
A particular focus is on promoting young talent. This includes internships, mentoring programs, exchange formats and joint projects to teach music and dance. This gives ZHdK students practical insights into artistic work at the opera house. At the same time, the networking of educational and cultural institutions beyond Zurich is to be strengthened in order to support the development of young talent even more effectively internationally.
