The other, however, would be that

The cost of the whole madness: around 115 million francs. This is more than the original cost of building the ship, the modern branch of the Schauspielhaus in Zurich-West, 20 years ago. Compared to all the theaters and cultural centers in Zurich and the rest of Switzerland that have been damaged by corona, this sum is a mockery. That is one side. this insensitive act of madness, which will certainly be seen as such after a few years, would mean the disappearance of a first-class cultural monument. Zurich canada rcs data is not rich in places with a historic aura - apart from the Grossmünster, the ETH and perhaps the luxury hotels. Lenin's house on Spiegelgasse was also demolished, which is mentioned in passing and with great regret in practically every article. At this point, the question of why arises? The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) - after all a barometer of cultural sensitivities - described the Zurich city plans as "demolition of heritage" due to "pseudo-progressive ideas". This most likely best describes the motivation behind Odermatt’s plans.
The opposition to the demolition of the Pfauensaal has so far been muted - and very heterogeneous. Of the political parties, the Alternative List (AL) and the city's SVP - les extrêmes se touchent - have come forward. The Zurich section of the Swiss Heritage Society is also appealing against the city council's plans. When it comes to the city's monument protection, the problem is likely to be with the top boss: André Odermatt. The NZZ ("The Pfauensaal is not lost yet!"), another Zurich institution, is also outraged. But so are former director Gerd Leo Kuck and star actor Burghart Klaussner, who, as the newspaper knows, had very good years in Zurich. Whether this will be enough is an open question.
