OUTSIDER
Grand Théâtre de Genève
de Rachid Ouramdane
from Friday, 3 May 2024 to Sunday, 5 May 2024
Grand Théâtre de Genève
Rachid Ouramdane is used to working on transdisciplinary projects. Since April 2021 director of France’s Chaillot – Théâtre national de la Danse, he will be taking on the dancers of the Geneva Ballet for a La Plage special edition. A balancing act, not after perfection but the mastery of the right gesture, here he is mixing extreme athletics with the counterpoint of a choreographed group, extending the power of all and sundry through the crossing of their personalities. Using the idiom of the swarm, the cloud, the horizontality of movement, Ouramdane is fascinated by the moment of the fall, when a line breaks… or almost. Expect these entangled lines in the scenography and, immaterially, in the music. The compositions for four pianos by the American composer Julius Eastman will be brought out of oblivion for this occasion. A marginal – or marginalised? – and mysterious figure of the New York minimalist scene, Eastman was politically actice, a figure of queer culture and a solitary poet whose melancholy influenced his genius as well as his tragic destiny: during the winter of 1981-82, he was evicted from his flat by the police, who destroyed most of his belongings, including scores and recordings. He was found dead in 1990 on the streets of Buffalo after years of vagrancy.

FORCES
Bâtiment des Forces Motrices
de Aszure Barton et Sharon Eyal
from Wednesday, 12 June 2024 to Sunday, 16 June 2024
Bâtiment des Forces Motrices
BUSK / Strrong
This double dance bill presents the emblematic works of two women at the choreographic forefront of our time. BUSK, by Canadian Aszure Barton, is an attentive gaze cast on the physical unfurling of the human psyche. The dancers must tap into the collective – a hive mind – in order to execute Barton’s layered and intricate choreographic structures which then give way to the nuance of each individual. Strong, by Sharon Eyal from Israel, is a techno soundtrack alternated by drums and bass as lights and movement project an ecstatic experience for seventeen spellbound dancers. Strong develops a magnetism of bodies between the dancers which, as they come closer together, increase the eponymous strength of this performance. The result is emblematic of the cohesion that derives from a common mission or belief.

It's a grey day today. Our singer is feeling down and sees
everything in black. She feels more like sulking than singing,
and instead of being cheerful just wants to feel dreadful.
Along comes an optimistic pianist, and with the help of the
kids and grownups in the audience, she'll have all the help she
needs to put some colour back into her grey day.
After the success of La Souris Traviata, mezzo-soprano
Julia Deit-Ferrand has designed this new workshop-performance
where you can learn to sing to brighten up gloomy days,
and to paint a colourful world with musical notes...

Because we love putting the Grand Théâtre in afterwork
mode, we will be trying out something new this season. 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!CHF 25.- first drink included

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 productionCHF 25.- first drink included

JEFF MILLS PRESENTS TOMORROW COMES THE HARVEST
Grand Théâtre de Genève
Billets pour le concert uniquement
Friday, 10 May 2024 20:00
Grand Théâtre de Genève
An emblematic figure in Detroit Techno, Jeff Mills has never been content with his status as a legendary DJ, and has always sought to push the genre forward, offering it new playgrounds. Since his beginnings in the 80s, notably with the Underground Resistance collective, the Axis Records founder and aptly named "The Wizard" has established himself on the Detroit scene, constantly reinventing and hybridizing his electronic music. Over the years, Jeff Mills has repeatedly proved that he is not only one of the founding fathers of Techno, but also a major artist of contemporary music, as evidenced by his Afrofunk-Electro-Jazz project "Tomorrow Comes The Harvest", which aims to fuse the quintessence of these two worlds.
For his performance at Geneva's Grand Théâtre, Jeff Mills has invited the brilliant flautist Rasheeda Ali to join them, to continue "exploring the unknown by crossing senses and rhythms through a series of improvisational movements". Not to be missed.

Foyer du Grand ThéâtreGrand Théâtre de Genève
A seasonal interlude in the well-ordered life of the Grand Théâtre de Genève, Electron's Late Night is a resolutely electronic affair, with artistic sessions on every floor to thrill your legs, your hearts and your senses.
To shake up your preconceptions of Geneva's Grand Théâtre and immerse yourself in electronic culture with a capital C, Electron is offering a two-part event. First of all, we welcome one of the pundits of Techno, the genre's founder and most eminent exponent, Jeff Mills, who will make a foray into jazz by presenting his "Tomorrow Comes The Harvest" project in the Théâtre, accompanied by the brilliant flautist Rasheeda Ali and seasoned keyboardist Jean-Phi Dary.
The Detroit scene will also be in the spotlight in the Atrium, the setting for Late Night proper, which will vibrate to the sounds of a true Motor City legend, Stacey "Hotwaxx" Hale, better known as the "Godmother of House". She'll be sharing the desk with Lea Lisa from Lausanne, inveterate digger and spiritual daughter of Kerri Chandler.
In the exquisite Bar Bleu, you'll hear the modular sounds of the highly inspired ADSR collective from Geneva, a benchmark for the genre in French-speaking Switzerland, who will be there in force to make you groove to the rhythms of eight artists who will be keen to pass on the virus of synthesis.

SAINT FRANCOIS D'ASSISE
Grand Théâtre de Genève
d'Olivier Messiaen
from Thursday, 11 April 2024 to Thursday, 18 April 2024
Grand Théâtre de Genève
The only opera by the French musical genius Olivier Messiaen, premiered in Paris in 1983, describes the life of a great seeker of God and a poor little humble medieval monk: Saint Francis of Assisi. Messiaen, a committed Roman Catholic, put all his skills as a composer into it. His synaesthetic conception of motif, modal and tonal creation, the rhythmic complexity he gleaned from his passionate love of birdsong and the grandeur of his Late French Romantic dramatic gesture, all find their place in this work where musicians, choristers and soloists are not counted by the dozen but by the hundreds. The staging and visual creation of this piece will be directed by Adel Abdessemed, a world-renowned visual artist born in 1971 in Constantine, Algeria. Echoing Francis' praise to the Creator, Adel Abdessemed sees only the thousand colours of Creation as an antidote to the barbarism of our time.

ROBERTO DEVEREUX
Grand Théâtre de Genève
de Gaetano Donizetti
from Friday, 31 May 2024 to Sunday, 30 June 2024
Grand Théâtre de Genève
To close our Tudors trilogy, we find Elizabeth I, at the twilight of her life, facing a plot headed by her favourite, the Earl of Essex Robert Devereux. Here, against a background of tensions between Catholics and Protestants, the royal favourite returns unauthorised by the Queen from his post in Catholic Ireland and ends up losing his head at the Tower of London. Donizetti gives an in-depth psychological account, absent from Maria Stuarda, of the innermost desires for love of this solitary woman, a monarch at the end of her life and reign.
Continuing their exploration into the fictitious character of the so-called Virgin Queen, Mariame Clément and set designer Julia Hansen investigate the entrails of power and the ambiguity between state and private reasons. -
ANNA BOLENA
Grand Théâtre de Genève
de Gaetano Donizetti
from Tuesday, 18 June 2024 to Wednesday, 26 June 2024
Grand Théâtre de Genève
A trilogy is an opportunity to tell a story in several episodes. Here, it is also an opportunity to find similarities between the characters and to get to know them closely, to grow up and grow old with them, at least for those who do not get their head chopped off along the way. From the outset, Mariame Clément and Julia Hansen have worked to create links and variations, but above all to create portals between these pieces, by assembling Anna Bolena, Maria Stuarda and Roberto Devereux together as a whole. Now that we will be able to walk through this haunted set at will from one period to another, will the mirrors be reversed? In any case, to be able to experience these three operas, one after the other for a week like a Wagner Ring, is a very rare opportunity. For the soloists, it will certainly be a labyrinth of virtuosity, memory and endurance. An operatic event not to be missed: evviva Donizetti and long live bel canto!

ALEKSANDRA KURZAK & ROBERTO ALAGNA
Grand Théâtre de Genève
Soprano et ténor
Sunday, 26 May 2024 20:00
Grand Théâtre de Genève
Roberto Alagna and Aleksandra Kurzak met as the lead roles in a production of Donizetti’s L’elisir d’amore at Covent Garden. A few years later, in a production of the same work at the Paris Opera, they have now decided to form a glamorous couple both on stage and in the city, captivating audiences around the world. Since his debut as Alfredo in Verdi’s La traviata (1988 at Glyndebourne Touring Opera), French tenor Roberto Alagna has performed just about everykey tenor role in the operas of Verdi, Donizetti, Gounod, Massenet and Puccini on the world’s greatest opera stages. He has won the hearts of a very largeaudience with his recordings of popular songs and his appearances on television. Aleksandra Kurzak started out as a coloratura soprano, but nowadays she sings mainly verismo and late 19th century repertoire. For their first album together, in 2018, they chose Puccini’s love duets: a repertoire in Alagna’s DNA, who has always sung it, in which the great tragedienne of the bel canto and verismo repertoire that is his wife joins him quite naturally. In concert, they marry their two timbres with finesse and accuracy and express a musical generosity that can only arouse enthusiasm.
