Vita Power Installation during the interval

With the start of the new opera season in 2025/26, the main stage of the Zurich Opera House will now also be supplied with the correct humidity. The installation work took place in July during the interval so that the system would be fully operational at the start of the season. For the premiere of Richard Strauss' opera Der Rosenkavalier, our Vita Power high-pressure direct room system quietly and silently ensured the correct humidity.

Maximum hygiene, high reliability and great flexibility

Christian Schwendener from the Condair sales team recalls that the first contact between Zurich Opera House and the Swiss sales team was made during the Sales & Service Conference 2024. The customer discussions quickly developed in a positive direction. ‘In addition to our strong customer focus, the low maintenance requirements and high flexibility of our Vita Power 100 full water treatment system were the decisive factors,’ recalls Christian. "As a selected lead customer, we were also able to offer them an attractive package with 12 months of premium service. The project was originally offered with a different high-pressure direct steam system and then converted to Vita Power. Our Vita Power system impressed with its state-of-the-art technology, highest hygiene standards and high-quality components."

Sebastian Bogatu, Technical Director Opera Zurich

"For our dancers and singers, it is very, very important to have good, humid air that they can breathe in, but of course also not to have any droplets on the floor – and Vita Power fulfills both requirements. We already had a stage humidification system, and Condair showed us good options for how it could be improved."
