BEHIND THE STAGE
![]()
from Sunday, 28 September 2025 to Thursday, 20 November 2025
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.

BAL IMPERIAL - BOLERO
![]()
Grand Théâtre de Genève
from Wednesday, 19 November 2025 to Tuesday, 25 November 2025
Grand Théâtre de Genève
Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui's new creation Bal Impérial dialogues with the transcendent Boléro by the iconic trio: Cherkaoui-Jalet-Abramović. From Vienna to Tokyo, beauty lurks beneath the military strategies of a politically inspired waltz. Behind the masks, the Ballet du Grand Théâtre de Genève draws a social choreography as violent as it is sensitive, fanned by the incantatory power of Boléro in a final hypnotic spiral.

DUMY MOYI

Foyer du Grand ThéâtreGrand Théâtre de Genève
Monday, 8 September 2025
Foyer du Grand ThéâtreGrand Théâtre de Genève
“I dream of this piece as an antidote. To the rigidity of Western theatre with its hierarchies, timelines and power dynamics. Here, we’re in an intimate space. No stage. No tiers. Close to one another. A small audience. All on the same level. You choose your time slot. Like cinema screenings or fairground shows, the show takes place several times a day. And in this closeness, in this intimate setting, we revel in delicacy and extravagance, like the theyyam rituals of Kerala, where divine costumes both elevate and connect the performer to the people. Accompanied by entrancing songs – Ukrainian, Filipino, Sephardic – Думи мої* is a polyglot recital trapped inside a sculptural costume by Romain Brau. Dances, songs, images: impure and refined, intimate and immense.”
— François Chaignaud
When Geneva first discovered Думи мої at Festival Antigel in 2014, even the glass and porcelain of Musée Ariana held their breath…
*Думи мої is pronounced “Dumy Moyi”.Length : 35 minutes.

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) -

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!

In the game of love, Tannhäuser is a sublime troublemaker. From the feverish delights of the Venusberg to the ardent prayers of the Wartburg, Wagner's inspired pen traverses the boundaries of the human soul in a world without nuance. Bubbling with romanticism and a heart beating to the rhythm of an impossible dilemma, Tannhäuser pilgrimages from ecstasy to repentance.
