Opera for all – experience culture with Zurich

Culture inspires and brings people together. You are important to us – which is why we are sharing unique cultural experiences with you. Together with Zurich Opera House, we have been making opera accessible to everyone for years: from the large open-air stage on Sechseläutenplatz to the children's opera for our youngest fans.

Useful protection for culture enthusiasts

People who are interested in culture often have specific insurance needs. We have compiled three useful solutions for you.
Musical instruments are also valuables

Protect your treasured possessions

In addition to being an opera enthusiast, do you also play an instrument? Through the insurance of valuables with Zurich, you can protect your instrument against loss, damage and destruction. Any damage unintentionally caused by yourself is also covered.

Look forward to the next event without worries

Your Zurich travel insurance also covers visits to cultural events: For example, if you fall ill or an emergency occurs in your family, Zurich will cover the costs of tickets from 100 Swiss francs and any stopovers and hotel stays.

Worry-free music pleasure

If you also enjoy listening to high-quality music at home, you can supplement your household contents insurance with additional "accidental damage to electrical equipment" coverage for your expensive music system. The protection covers all electrical household appliances, including laptops, mobile phones and TV sets.

Other commitments of Zurich

In addition to sponsoring the Opera House, Zurich also makes contributions to society in other areas.
