BEETHOVEN7
Bâtiment des Forces Motrices
from Thursday, 13 March 2025 to Sunday, 16 March 2025
Bâtiment des Forces Motrices
A major figure in contemporary dance, Sasha Waltz continues to reflect upon utopias and flouted ideals in a choreography inspired by and dedicated to Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No 7. Haunted by the composer’s disillusionment amid his growing deafness and the vanished promises of the revolution, the 7th symphony beats aptly with the quest for balance between individual freedom and social constraints.

MIRAGE
Grand Théâtre de Genève
from Tuesday, 6 May 2025 to Sunday, 11 May 2025
Grand Théâtre de Genève
Mirage passes through like a waking dream, moving and fluctuating in the manner of these fascinating phenomena. For this fourth collaboration, Damien Jalet and Kohei Nawa depict a humanity in search of meaning in this unpredictable, simultaneously hostile and lush nature. In perpetual metamorphosis, the performers transform, layer after layer, into an infinite variety of physical and emotional states.

ONBASHIRA DIPTYCH (SKID/THROUGH)
Grand Théâtre de Genève
Saturday, 17 May 2025 20:00
Grand Théâtre de Genève
Fascinated by the legendary Japanese festival, Onbashira, Damien Jalet is inspired to bring together his two pieces Skid and Thr(o)ugh for a unique evening. If Skid evokes the mountain, Thr(o)ugh recalls the tree trunk upon which thousands of men ride down the steep Suma mountainside. In these two pieces, to ward off danger, the physical relationship to others is often the only comfort.

Foyer du Grand ThéâtreGrand Théâtre de Genève
Haven’t you ever wondered what it’s like on the other side when the curtain falls on a performance? How does all the technical machinery work? What do the stagehands have to do to get things back into working order? Or maybe just bump into one of the stars of the show? So let us raise the curtain on all this for you. With every production, we give our patrons an opportunity to come backstage with us, raise their eyes to the flies and take a good look at what’s behind the sets. It may be dark in the wings but there’s a whole lot going on there! And because it’s a busy place, we can’t really do this more than once per performance run. You will need to book your visit beforehand, so don’t delay!
A member of the theatre staff who can answer all your questions and show you some of the very impressive features of our opera house takes you backstage for free.The “En coulisse” tour lasts about 20 minutes, starts 15 minutes after the performance, is free of charge on prior reservation.

APEROPERA
Foyer du Grand ThéâtreGrand Théâtre de Genève
from Thursday, 16 January 2025 to Thursday, 5 June 2025
Foyer du Grand ThéâtreGrand Théâtre de Genève
A slice of life, a slice of laughter and a slice of music to garnish the canapé that comes with our urban apéritif! Have a spritz or a vermouth while we supply the entertaining company. Apéropéra is a relaxed, fresh and unstuffy way to (re)discover a composer, a work, a topic, miles away from the usual lectures you get before the performance. Get ready for some good stories, from the past and especially the present. And in between, there’ll be live music from the show (or in the same vein) performed by artists on the production!
First drink included (except cocktails and champagne) -
APEROVISITE
Foyer du Grand ThéâtreGrand Théâtre de Genève
from Thursday, 23 January 2025 to Thursday, 27 March 2025
Foyer du Grand ThéâtreGrand Théâtre de Genève
Because we love putting the Grand Théâtre in afterwork mode, please welcome the Apérovisite: a hybrid between the traditional Guided Tour and the Apéropéra. Marvel at our Murano glass or Léon Gaud’s gaudy frescoes, sure, but have a drink with that. Our marble halls and our gilded chimneypieces are so much more thrilling with a glass of Viognier. Apérovisite will only take place three times this season, so save those dates!

SALOMÉ
Grand Théâtre de Genève
from Wednesday, 22 January 2025 to Sunday, 2 February 2025
Grand Théâtre de Genève
Sultry and provocative, Salomé leads you into a sensual dance as corrupting as it is fascinating. Driven by her dark urges, Salomé transgresses ethics and the sacred. With her lethal obsession, Salomé’s unremitting message is of the destructive encounter between desire and power. Adapted from the play by Oscar Wilde, Richard Strauss’s opera unites these erotic tensions with an intense expressivity of groundbreaking musical modernity.

DIDO AND AENEAS
Grand Théâtre de Genève
from Thursday, 20 February 2025 to Wednesday, 26 February 2025
Grand Théâtre de Genève
A Dido and Aeneas that you’ve never seen or heard, other than on our screens during the pandemic! At the helm of this dance-opera, the famous Belgian company Peeping Tom employs all its habitual surrealist fantasy to unfold an alternative narrative which plunges us into the vertigo of Dido’s psyche.

KHOVANTCHINA
Grand Théâtre de Genève
from Tuesday, 25 March 2025 to Thursday, 3 April 2025
Grand Théâtre de Genève
An ageless political turmoil, Khovanshchina plays out as the tragic prophecy of a repeatedly re-enacted coup d’état. Confronting the power of some, the fanaticism of others, and the progressivism of the winners, the historical plot serves as a perfect backdrop for Modest Mussorgsky’s folk-redolent music.

STABAT MATER
Cathédrale Saint Pierre
from Saturday, 10 May 2025 to Sunday, 18 May 2025
Cathédrale Saint Pierre
All the genius of the Italian prodigy Pergolesi is here magnified tenfold. While the talented Roman Castellucci’s symbolic interpretation exalts the celestial singing of Jakub Józef Orliński and Barbara Hannigan, the musical dramaturgy enhanced by the works of Giacinto Scelsi draws out the cry of this sublime pain as it rises up from Geneva’s Cathédrale Saint-Pierre.

LA TRAVIATA
Grand Théâtre de Genève
from Saturday, 14 June 2025 to Friday, 27 June 2025
Grand Théâtre de Genève
The heroine of heroines sees double in this Geneva production casting a tender modern eye on an independent woman sacrificed to ‘what people will say’. Inspired by the novel by Alexandre Dumas fils, The Lady of the Camellias, La traviata combines the guilty pleasure of a melodramatic libretto with a skilfully orchestrated, joyously theatrical music of formidable potency.

AUŠRINĖ STUNDYTĖ
Grand Théâtre de Genève
Sunday, 9 February 2025 20:00
Grand Théâtre de Genève
‘Staggering’, ‘remarkable’, ‘incendiary’, this is how Aušrinė Stundytė is being described. The incredible Lithuanian soprano is at the Grand Théâtre this season with an out-of-the-ordinary recital built around Arnold Schoenberg’s monodrama, Erwartung (Expectation). Passing successively through a multitude of emotions, from jealous anguish to ultimate horror, until descent into madness, Erwartung will be presented in a semi-staged version perfectly suited to simultaneously deploying Aušrinė Stundytė’s powerful voice and extraordinary acting skills.

BENJAMIN APPL
Grand Théâtre de Genève
Thursday, 15 May 2025 20:00
Grand Théâtre de Genève
It’s in dialogue with George Butterworth’s cycle Six Songs from ‘A Shropshire Lad’ that German baritone Benjamin Appl, faithful to his musical curiosity, has built his recital centred around the figure of Gustav Mahler. From one side of the Styx to thew other, partnered at the piano by James Baillieu, this questioning, dramaturgical programme simultaneously expresses man’s finiteness and desire for transcendence.
