Constance at the Zurich Opera House
Matthias Schulz, the designated artistic director of Zurich Opera, is extending the contracts of future ballet director Cathy Marston and current opera director Annette Weber beyond 2025.
Anette Weber has headed the opera division of the Zurich Opera House since the beginning of the current season. She was previously casting director at the Hamburg State Opera and the Semperoper Dresden.
The 22/23 season marks an artistic turning point at Ballett Zürich: ballet director Christian Spuck is entering his last season. His successor Cathy Marston is already presenting her first new production. A total of 14 choreographies - including five world premieres - will be presented in the four premieres and four revivals.
Schulz is moving from the Berlin State Opera Unter den Linden to Zurich. He previously worked at the Salzburg Festival and as Artistic Director and Commercial Director of the Mozarteum Foundation Salzburg. In 2015, he was appointed artistic director designate of the Berlin State Opera. In 2025, he will succeed Artistic Director Homoki at Zurich Opera House, who is leaving the post at his own request.
