Description
The Zürich Opera Ball, held annually in March, was created as a fundraiser for the Zürich Opera and Ballett Zürich and is held in the Zürich Opera House.[1][2] The ball is opened with the presentation of debutantes.[1][3] Jewels for the debutantes are provided by the jewelry house Gübelin.[4] The debutante presentation is followed by musical and ballet performances, a formal dinner, and a ball.[1][5][6][7] A society event, the ball is a part of Zürich's social season and is attended by celebrities, members of the Swiss nobility, and other prominent people.[8]
In 2020 the ball was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Switzerland.[9]
