Overview

Mozart was 32 years old when he wrote his last symphony, the "Jupiter" Symphony. Herbert Blomstedt is now almost three times that age – and still exudes an almost youthful joy in music on the podium. In addition to the "Jupiter" Symphony, he takes on Mozart's "Linz" Symphony. It was written in just a few days when Mozart was asked to give a concert during a stopover in Linz on his journey from Salzburg to Vienna: "And because I don't have a single symphony with me, I'm writing a new one over my head." He would hardly have expected that this head-over-heels work would still be performed almost 250 years later.

The Tonhalle Zürich, having undergone a complete programme of renovation between 2017 and 2021, has now been restored to its former glory.

Built at the turn of the 20th century, the Tonhalle has seen many changes in the course of its history. Partially demolished, the building was extended with the addition of the Kongresshaus; much of its original ornamentation was removed; its colourful decoration was toned down and then restored. However, the two concert halls remained substantially unchanged – which is particularly fortunate, as the Grosse Tonhalle is acoustically one of the world’s finest concert venues.

The entire complex is now classified as a historical monument. Thanks to the Zurich electorate, which in 2016 voted by a large majority in favour of a complete renovation, the venue now meets today’s varying requirements both in the auditorium and behind the scenes – and has been restored to its former glory. Following the renovation programme lasting from 2017 to 2021, the Grosse Tonhalle’s old tonal brilliance has also returned.
