Opernhauskrawalle (Opera House riots) is the Swiss German term generally used for the youth protests at the end of May 1980 in the Swiss city of Zürich, a municipality in the Canton of Zürich. Also called Züri brännt ("Zürich is burning"), these events marked the 'rebirth' of the alternative youth movement in Switzerland in the 1980s. thumb|upright|Burning of the so-called Böögg on occasion of [[Sechseläuten in 2013, not the youth protests but the same site at Sechseläutenplatz.]]
