Zurich nails Noseda to 2028

Zurich Opera’s incoming intendant Matthias Schulz has extended the contract of music director Gianandrea Noseda for three more years.

Schulz, who arrives from Berlin’s Staatsoper under den Linden, is acutely aware that Berlin is on the lookout for Barenboim’s successor. He says: ‘Gianandrea Noseda is one of the most distinguished conductors of our time, equally at home at the opera as he is in concert. He has succeeded in leaving a formative artistic impression within the space of just a few months of his first term as Music Director of the
Opernhaus Zürich. He enjoys a high level of acceptance and recognition with Opernhaus staff, audiences, and the media. His winning personality and high level of professionalism have enabled him to establish a close relationship with all artistic ensembles. I am very much looking forward to continuing this successful work and to developing new programming with him’.
