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. The ball is opened with the presentation of
debutantes. Jewels for the debutantes are provided by the jewelry house
Gübelin. The debutante presentation is followed by musical and ballet performances, a formal dinner, and a
ball. 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. In 2020 the ball was cancelled due to the
COVID-19 pandemic in Switzerland. == References ==
