Chamber concerts form an important pillar of the program. In various formations and ensembles, the musicians of the Zurich Opera Orchestra devote themselves to the broad repertoire. The audience experiences the intensity of music-making up close in intimate spaces. Each of the nine chamber concert programs in the Hall of Mirrors has a unique focus: classics of the genre meet rarely heard works, early music meets crossover. Concerts "For the Premiere" feature programs specially tailored to the respective opera premiere. The chamber concerts usually take place both as Sunday matinees and on Monday evenings. In addition, three special concerts on the studio stage will highlight influential composers of the first and second half of the 20th century and the present day. On the occasion of the premiere of Paul Hindemith's opera "Cardillac," works by the composer, who temporarily lived in Zurich, will be performed alongside Leoš Janáček's wind sextet "Mládi." To mark the 100th birthday of the American avant-garde composer Morton Feldman (1926–1987), the Opera Nova ensemble will perform his legendary, over four-hour trio "For Philip Guston" in a special concert setting with comfortable reclining seating. One week before the Swiss premiere of Olga Neuwirth's new musical theater piece "Monster's Paradise," Opera Nova will present chamber music works by the Austrian composer in a portrait concert.
