Update realizes digital presence of three Zurich cultural institutions
With the start of the 2025/26 season, the Zurich Opera House, the Theater Neumarkt, and the Theater Kanton Zürich are launching their new websites. All three sites were developed by update AG using the company’s own comprehensive solution, «veranstaltungs.net.»
Zurich Opera House
In the course of the new directorship, the Zurich Opera House a digital refresh. update AG renewed the existing setup with the CMS Processwire (which is the basis of update's event solution), adapted the design and structures and optimized the internal and external processes. Multiple daily automatic data imports and exports from TheaSoft and CMS Processwire ensure that events and line-ups are always up-to-date and available for various media appearances.
Theater Neumarkt
Also the Theater Neumarkt presents itself with a completely revamped website. update AG ensured clear structures, optimized navigation and a user-friendly presentation of image, audio and video formats. Together with the new artistic director and ensemble, the new website is a strong signal for the start of the coming season.
Theater Canton Zurich
Finally, the Theater Canton Zurich started the season with a new website. update AG implemented the website technically, optimized the user interface and implemented a new interface to the internal event system TheaSoft. As a result, events and artist information are automatically synchronized and also linked to the cultural platform Kulturzüri.ch. Various internal processes will now be digitized and optimized.
"The three relaunches show that cultural institutions must also set new digital standards in order to appeal to their audiences in a contemporary way," says Oliver Arnoczky, Managing Director and owner of update AG. "We are proud to have accompanied three such important institutions in this step. The new websites are not only more modern and user-friendly, but also technically future-proof."
