Opening of the Tonhalle Zurich postponed
Construction work on the renovation of the Kongresshaus and Tonhalle continues. However, the coronavirus-related protective measures are delaying construction progress. The opening date of the Kongresshaus and Tonhalle has been postponed from March to September 2021 due to the increased schedule risk.
The measures imposed by the federal government and the extraordinary situation are having an impact on the construction process, writes the City of Zurich: the construction process and material deliveries are being affected. Sticking to the original opening date of March 2021 is too great a risk for the operators under the current circumstances.
The Tonhalle-Gesellschaft Zürich will perform the 2020/2021 season in the Tonhalle Maag instead of the Tonhalle am See and is planning accordingly.
It is currently difficult to estimate when the supply chains will stabilize and what long-term consequences the measures will have on the schedule. Not least because the federal government's easing of restrictions is being implemented gradually and with reservations. The client is still aiming for completion as quickly as possible.
