The history of the Zurich Opera House goes back to the "Actien-Theater", which opened in 1834 with Mozart's "Magic Flute". It was the city's first standing theater and was founded by theater-loving citizens in the form of a joint-stock company. The public limited company (today Opernhaus Zürich AG) is still the sponsor of the institution; in November 2009 their 175th anniversary was celebrated. The canton of Zurich has been the main subsidy provider since 1995. 
The old "Actien-Theater" burned down in 1890 and was replaced by a new building designed by Fellner and Helmer. The new theatre, not far from the Bellevue on Lake Zurich, was financed almost entirely privately. It was inaugurated in 1891 with Wagner's "Lohengrin" under the name "Stadttheater". Since 1921, music theater and drama have gone their separate ways in Zurich. The old «Stadttheater» has been called the Opernhaus since 1964.
The theater, which can now seat around 1,100 spectators, was extensively renovated in 1982-1984 and was given an extension on Uto-Quai, which also houses a studio stage as a second venue. In 1985 the opera orchestra was separated from the Tonhalle Orchestra and with it the Philharmonia Zurichbrought to life. Since 1995 there has been a separate baroque ensemble ("La Scintilla"), which was formed from the ranks of the opera orchestra.

Here you will find the commemorative publication for the 175th anniversary of the "Theater-Actiengesellschaft" from 2010.
