Bâtiment des Forces Motrices
Stephen Sondheim, the acclaimed lyricist of West Side Story, established himself as a leading composer in 1970 with Company in which he dissects the trials and tribulations of married life with irony and warmth through the stories of a group of New Yorkers in the throes of an existential crisis. Conducted by Larry Blank, this flagship title of the US musical repertoire is presented at the BFM in a French adaptation, powered by James Bonas’s high-energy direction and Ewan Jones’s exhilarating dance numbers.

THE MARRIAGE OF FIGARO
![]()
Bâtiment des Forces Motrices
from Sunday, 13 December 2026 to Thursday, 31 December 2026
Bâtiment des Forces Motrices
Long banned for its criticism of the privileges of the nobility, Beaumarchais’ play The Marriage of Figaro premiered in Paris in 1784. Five years later, the Ancien Régime was abolished. Between these two dates, the ‘Figaro phenomenon’ swept across Enlightenment Europe and found one of its most brilliant expressions in Mozart’s opera. Inspired by the piece’s revolutionary context, Jetske Mijnssen stages this indispensable masterpiece of the repertoire, under the musical direction of Marta Gardolińska.

THEODORA

from Sunday, 24 January 2027 to Monday, 1 February 2027
Bâtiment des Forces Motrices
In Roman Antioch, Theodora refuses to renounce her Christian faith and faces persecution, whilst Didymus, an officer converted out of love, defies the authorities in an attempt to save her. The poignant account of their martyrdom provided Handel in 1749 with the subject for a refined and introspective oratorio in the twilight of his life. Krzysztof Warlikowski and Raphaël Pichon, leading his own Pygmalion ensemble, reveal the piece’s full theatrical intensity in their first collaboration.

IL VIAGGIO A REIMS

Victoria Hall
from Saturday, 6 February 2027 to Sunday, 14 February 2027
Victoria Hall
Commissioned from Rossini for the coronation of Charles X, “The Journey to Reims” follows the misadventures of a glamorous group of European aristocrats on their way to the coronation ceremony. A one-off, this virtuoso opera is also a masterpiece of wit, playing with all the codes of opera and the circumstances of its composition.
With conductor Jader Bignamini, Laurent Pelly embraces this ‘meta-operatic’ dimension in a production that takes the Victoria Hall as its stage.

THE GIRL FROM THE GOLDEN WEST
![]()
Bâtiment des Forces Motrices
from Sunday, 7 March 2027 to Saturday, 20 March 2027
Bâtiment des Forces Motrices
A forerunner of the Wild West genre, La fanciulla del West blends romantic passion with a manhunt against the backdrop of the Gold Rush. Whilst its libretto celebrates the United States’ ‘manifest destiny’, Puccini’s masterful, almost cinematic score – conducted by Antonino Fogliani – seems to reveal the darker side of America’s great founding myths. Marie-Ève Signeyrole uses this ambiguity to drive a breathless, closed-door drama with the feel of a psychological thriller.

Bâtiment des Forces Motrices
With Only the Sound Remains (2016), Kaija Saariaho presents a diptych inspired by Japanese Noh theatre. In it, she sets to music the encounter between the human and the supernatural through an airy score, delicately playing with the timbres, textures and contrasts made by an intimate ensemble conducted by Ernest Martínez Izquierdo. In a pictorial space created by Julie Mehretu, Peter Sellars stages a stylised and meditative performance, where emotion arises from restraint and suggestion.

THE THREEPENNY OPERA
![]()
Bâtiment des Forces Motrices
from Saturday, 5 June 2027 to Sunday, 13 June 2027
Bâtiment des Forces Motrices
With The Threepenny Opera, Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill tore up the rule book of musical theatre and produced an acerbic satire of capitalism. A mix of popular songs, jazz and opera, this maverick musical phenomenon was an instant hit in 1928 and has still not shown signs of flagging. Barrie Kosky, the greatest living master of cabaret and musical theatre, makes the work wax lyrical and showcases its theatricality in a labyrinthine set where the Berliner Ensemble performers, conducted by Adam Benzwi, do their thing for the first time ever in Geneva.

Bâtiment des Forces Motrices
Océans brings together two pieces inspired by the shapeshifting energy of water. Premiered in 2021 at the Paris Opera, Damien Jalet’s Brise-lames, imagined with the artist JR, joins the repertoire of the Geneva Ballet. Set to music by Koki Nakano, nine performers create a human wave, a symbol of power and fragility. In River Without Banks, Kyle Abraham explores the passage of time to Leo Svirsky’s spellbinding score, in a shifting environment designed with the help of Dan Scully.

Bâtiment des Forces Motrices
In his new work, Dimokratía, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui explores the contradictions of democracy. For their sixth collaboration, visual artist Antony Gormley envisions a shifting space that the performers shape using elements evoking the stones of an agora, cobblestones erected as barricades, or the limbs of a body. Dimitris Skyllas provides these transformations with a score blending ancient and contemporary texts, conducted by Margaryta Grynyvetska.

from Wednesday, 9 June 2027 to Friday, 11 June 2027
Concorde
The diptych Forces explores the tension between the collective’s momentum and the assertion of individuality. In BUSK (2009), Aszure Barton develops a layered choreographic style evoking the effervescence of urban performances. This celebration of the performers’ power is also at the heart of Strong (2019). In it, Sharon Eyal unfolds a hypnotic world of extreme physical intensity, revealing the strength, resilience and solitude inherent in each individual.

Idyll

Bâtiment des Forces Motrices
If you thought an idyll was just a rustic episode of carefree nymphs and swains, perhaps you should join Lea and Thomas on their Idylle. The couple, each in their own right a consummate performer of art music, will take you on a romantic interlude for lute and voice, where they revisit French love songs, from the 17th to the 20th century, in the company of Charpentier, Offenbach, Barbara and Françoise Hardy.

Sabine Devieilhe reveals her cabaret artist persona, with a little help from Laurent Pelly in the wings. Smile! is a tribute to the Parisian café-concert where unexpected dialogues happen between Francis Poulenc and Cora Vaucaire, Erik Satie and Annie Cordy or Stephen Sondheim and Josephine Baker. Underneath lies a reflection on the doubts and moments of grace in the life of an artist.

Bâtiment des Forces Motrices
There is something inherently seductive about the baritone voice: its masculinity, its stamina, its imperative, aristocratic way of getting things done. Add a French touch to all that and the sexiness becomes stylish, romantic and intellectual. Ludovic Tézier embodies the great tradition of French baritones, with their soaring high notes, their brooding, poetic nobility and their ineffable charm.

Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 has become a universal anthem thanks to its ability to unite people and its message of peace. To mark the bicentenary of the composer’s death, David Greilsammer and Juan Kruz Diaz de Garaio Esnaola transform it into an intense collective performance, played and danced by the soloists, the artists of the GTG Choir and the musicians of the Geneva Camerata.

Victoria Hall
In the 1950s, Bernstein saw in Candide’s outlandish adventures the perfect material to roast post-war American conformism and create a true ‘American operetta’, combining the spirit of Offenbach, the energy of Broadway and virtuoso orchestral writing. Rich with a great variety of forms and full of nods to European masters, Candide’s 1989 version with a narrator, now firmly established as the standard score, will be conducted by Guillaume Tourniaire during two concert performances.

For those who have not yet spotted La Souris Traviata, did you know that, at night, there is a little mouse who dreams of becoming an opera singer? When the lights are off and no one is around to catch her, she practices her vocal warm‑ups and works so hard that she sometimes falls asleep in our singer’s concert shoe! To wake her up, there’s only one solution: send her musical kisses…

A GRAND HISTORY OF OPERA
![]()
from Saturday, 7 November 2026 to Sunday, 6 December 2026
(or An Illuminated History of the Total Art Form)
In opera, should the music come before the words, or is it the other way round? This question, debated by composers for centuries, is at the heart of Louis Geisler's play, directed by Jérémie Lebreton. In a series of fast-paced sketches moving between comedy, drama and poetry, a narrator, a prima donna and a pianist revisit some key moments in the history of opera, in a dialogue of words and music by the great masters of the art form.

Théâtre Am Stram Gram
from Sunday, 7 February 2027 to Sunday, 14 February 2027
Théâtre Am Stram Gram
In the form of a funny and sensitive musical fairy tale, Jonathan Dove and Alaistair Middleton’s The Enchanted Pig tackles the themes of destiny and free will, deceptive appearances and discernment from the heart. Director Joan Mompart, an expert in youth theatre, leads his team of creatives, musicians, and singers in a set design that moves between cardboard and pixel art, through the colourful up-and-downs of a score that cheerfully blends in references to 20th-century opera and musical theater. A magical show that will delight both children and parents.
