TRISTAN ET ISOLDE
Bâtiment des Forces Motrices
de Joëlle Bouvier
from Thursday, 26 May 2022 to Sunday, 29 May 2022
Bâtiment des Forces Motrices
In May 2015, the Geneva Ballet received a standing ovation at the Bâtiment des Forces Motrices for the first performance of "Salue pour moi le monde!" by Joëlle Bouvier, a masterful concentrate of Wagner's Tristan und Isolde. of which this ballet performance is. Since then, Tristan & Isolde has become one of the best-loved pieces in the international repertoire of the Geneva Ballet. The Franco-Swiss choreographer reduced four hours of opera into to one and a half of brilliant dance, working with "music (which) is not made for dance but can suit it, provided it enters into the musical material, its sublime and tortuous path”. Bouvier maintains an intensely emotional dramatic flow that frees the plot of Tristan und Isolde from its fastidious poem. Her Tristan & Isolde is a story of intrepid lifts, transcendent duets and a scenography that cuts to the quick - a sea of restless silks, a forest of planks, a red cloak as the potion of death and love. A story with the power and eternity of the myth that Wagner took from the Middle Ages to slap us hard across the face of our modernity.
TURANDOT
Grand Théâtre de Genève
de Giacomo Puccini
from Monday, 20 June 2022 to Sunday, 3 July 2022
Grand Théâtre de Genève
Puccini's last opera is full of riddles. In the Forbidden City of Peking, Princess Turandot is not yet married and has so far refused all her suitors. She puts them to the test with three riddles: if they don't answer correctly, they have their heads cut off. Scores of unlucky suitors have already failed and lost their heads in the attempt. It is now the turn of Prince Calaf, to try his hand at answering the riddles. Puccini died in 1924 before completing the final duet, and in 2002 the Ricordi publishing house commissioned a new finale from the great Italian composer Luciano Berio, which will be heard in this Geneva production for the first time in Switzerland. Daniel Kramer's new staging transposes the old fairy tale into a futuristic world, with the help of the famous Japanese art collective teamLab, whose light designs create an immersive artistic experience that absorbs and enthrals the audience in its avant-gardist visual flux.
