OPERA

MARIA STUARDA

Grand Théâtre de Genève

MARIA STUARDA

by Gaetano Donizetti

Performance of your choice

Grand Théâtre de Genève

In the second part of our Donizetti trilogy about the Tudors, Elizabeth of England returns alongside her cousin Mary Queen of Scots. She who was once also Queen of France is an expert at imposing her whims and wills, juggling lovers, partisans and rebellions. Channeling her father Henry VIII, Elizabeth dispatches her rival to the scaffold, where Mary does not lose the opportunity to stage her own death...

Mariame Clément and Julia Hansen take us back to the phantasmagorical universe they initiated last season with characters who, in the style of Henry James, seem to visit each other from one opera to the next, weaving history, its hidden reasons and our gaze with an invisible thread. Stéphanie d'Oustrac sings the title role and Elsa Dreisig, the Virgin Queen. The Orchestre de la Suisse Romande follows the lead of Maestro Stefano Montanari who, from behind his fortepiano, rebuilds the musical bridges between Donizetti’s predecessors and successors.
PARSIFAL

Grand Théâtre de Genève

PARSIFAL

by Richard Wagner

Performance of your choice

Grand Théâtre de Genève

Something is rotten in the state of the Grail knights. Their king Amfortas has lost the Holy Spear to the fiend Klingsor. Amfortas is crushed with shame and his wound festers horribly without killing him. In the midst of this ailing world, young Parsifal appears and the Grail knights make him their champion. Trials and temptations ensue for the pure-hearted Parsifal who finally retrieves the Holy Spear, the cause and the cure of Amfortas’ wound. Amfortas may now die and Parsifal take his place as king. German director Michael Thalheimer sees Parsifal as the “wound” of bidding farewell to the world. The world must bid farewell to the Grail knighthood and the knights to their past and their worldly works. Jonathan Nott already has a legendary performance of Wagner’s Ring cycle at the Lucerne Festival under his belt. With the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande and some of the best Wagner singers of the day, they embark on the great spiritual journey that is Parsifal.
LE RETOUR D'ULYSSE

Grand Théâtre de Genève

LE RETOUR D'ULYSSE

by Claudio Monteverdi

Performance of your choice

Grand Théâtre de Genève

After his long journey back from Troy, Ulysses finally returns to Ithaca, where a trio of malevolent suitors are pestering his faithful wife, Penelope. The man of many devices faces his ultimate challenge: to make constancy and virtue triumph over treachery and deceit. Il ritorno d'Ulisse in patria, the least known of Claudio Monteverdi's three surviving operas, is the most tender and moving part of the triptych. Founded in 2008, FC Bergman quickly made a name for itself with its anarchistic, slightly chaotic, but highly evocative and poetic theatrical language. The subject of Ulysses, repeatedly shipwrecked on his way home, seems to be just the thing for this quirky Belgian drama collective, which brings together, according to one critic, "the mystical naturalism of Romeo Castellucci, the melancholic absurdism of Christoph Marthaler, and the dancing dynamics of Pina Bausch."  Fabio Biondi returns to Geneva, with his ensemble Europa Galante, to direct a passionately baroque interpretation of Ulisse.
VOYAGE VERS L'ESPOIR

Grand Théâtre de Genève

VOYAGE VERS L'ESPOIR

by Christian Jost

Performance of your choice

Grand Théâtre de Genève

This new opera, based on the film of the same name by Swiss director Xavier Koller, tells the story of a Kurdish family that abandons kind and country to try to get into paradise, i.e., Switzerland. Like a mirage, this paradise fades away with each step forward and ends up disappearing completely in a snowstorm. More than 30 years ago, a family’s future was sealed by the mountains. Today, people meet their destiny at sea. But for those of us who do not have to make this kind of journey, the story is little more than a parable. Who better to stage this new opera than Hungarian film and theatre director Kornél Mundruczó, already seen in Geneva with The Makropoulos Case (2020) and Sleepless (2022)? The music of this journey into despair, the first of our productions to be cancelled by the 2020 COVID lockdown, is the work of German composer Christian Jost, whose distinctive orchestral writing has the epic proportions of film music and is full of powerful rhythms and great emotions.
LADY MACBETH DE MTSENSK

Grand Théâtre de Genève

LADY MACBETH DE MTSENSK

by Dimitri Chostakovitch

Performance of your choice

Grand Théâtre de Genève

Dmitri Shostakovich wrote of his second opera: "Even if Katerina Lvovna is a murderer, she is not a scumbag. Her conscience torments her. (...) I can empathise with her...". In addition to murder, the opera features (audibly!) brutal sex, sadistic harassment and sexual assault. Buoyed by the steamy love affair between Katerina and Sergey, the opera also includes fragments of operetta, music hall, cabaret and jazz with the orchestra leading the party - one senses Shostakovich's vast experience as a silent film accompanist. Calixto Bieito, for one, is in a film noir mood, setting the opera in a rotten industrial labyrinth, where one can only work in hazmat suits, and which recalls the polluted and dilapidated metropolises of Russia and China... or Detroit. According to Bieito: "It's not Romeo and Juliet, it's the apocalyptic thriller of love in a post-capitalist system." The Argentine Alejo Pérez conducts the OSR and we introduce the dazzling Lithuanian soprano Aušrinė Stundytė in the title role.
NABUCCO

Grand Théâtre de Genève

NABUCCO

by Giuseppe Verdi

Performance of your choice

Grand Théâtre de Genève

Giuseppe Verdi’s early work Nabucco has often been interpreted as an epic call (“Va pensiero”) to the national liberation struggle that would eventually lead to Italian unity. However, the opera emphasises, perhaps unwittingly, a particularity of rabbinic thought, the idea of the "withdrawal" of the divine as a presence of absence. Brazilian director, filmmaker and author Christiane Jatahy, who was awarded the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the Venice Biennale in 2022, will organise the Jewish people’s resistance in Babylon by speaking, as she is wont to do in her readings of the classics, the words of those who are still resisting today at the four corners of the world, from the Middle East to the Amazon. Maestro Antonino Fogliani will lead the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, through the piece’s differences and concordances, along with a cast of extraordinary bel canto singers, including Riccardo Zanellato, Nicola Alaimo and Saioa Hernandez.

BALLET

SUTRA

Bâtiment des Forces Motrices

SUTRA

by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui

Performance of your choice

Bâtiment des Forces Motrices

After meeting the martial arts monks of the Chinese Buddhist temple of Shaolin in 2007, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui designed this show for his company Eastman and gave it the Sanskrit name for the canonical scriptures of the Buddhist tradition. Sutra is a journey of cultural and social exchange at the end of which the monks and choreographer succeeded in creating an artistic universe that evokes old and new China in an unusual and playful way, dealing with construction and destruction, transformations and games. The set, by the great Antony Gormley, is covered with wooden boxes that can be modulated to form different constellations; they can stand as a wall, build a bridge, erect a temple or represent a cemetery. Sutra promises one of those increasingly rare moments when China and the West can, in the words of Shaolin’s founder Boddhidharma, "touch each other straight to the heart."
TRACES

Bâtiment des Forces Motrices

TRACES

Damien Jalet and Fouad Boussouf

Performance of your choice

Bâtiment des Forces Motrices

TRACES is both a rite of memory and a celebration of the present, always on the move. Damien Jalet, associate artist of the Geneva Ballet, and New York visual artist Jim Hodges have created THR(O)UGH, a piece in which an enormous cylindrical object, like a tunnel or a passageway between the natural and the supernatural, invites dancers to interact with it. This project was catalysed by Damien Jalet's personal experience as a witness and survivor of the 13 November 2015 attacks in Paris. To process the unerasable images of these atrocities and soothe a broken spirit, THR(O)UGH's tunnel leads the darkest memory of the choreographer's life into a different light. Franco-Moroccan choreographer Fouad Boussouf brings with him the prominent Swiss visual artist Ugo Rondinone, for his new piece VÏA. On a luminous stage with tones as hot as asphalt under the sun, they bring dance back to its point of origin, the ground, the street, the urban track on which the body, tired of leaving its traces, crashes, curls up and evaporates. VÏA is a presence of every moment, where there is no right or wrong way, but only justness, or perhaps even justice.

Performance of your choice

Opéra familial à partir de 5 ans

Rosa (soprano) et Bianca (mezzo-soprano) sont deux princesses jumelles aux caractères diamétralement opposés.

Quand Rosa court, crie et trompette, Bianca rêve, lit et soupire.

Quand Bianca salue la foule d’une geste gracieux, Rosa la harangue d’un ton impétueux.

Mais le jour de leur dix-huitième anniversaire, le Grand Chambellan du Royaume (comédien/pianiste) doit annoncer qui de Rosa ou de Bianca montera sur le trône et deviendra la reine. Au cours d’une série d’épreuves, elles s’affronteront, se disputeront, avant de réaliser que bien souvent, c’est l’union qui fait la force …

A travers une réécriture en français d’airs de Donizetti principalement tirés de Maria Stuarda, Roberto Devereux, La Fille du régiment, Don Gregorio, l’Assedio di Calais (entre autres), la metteure en scène Sybille Wilson et la scénographe Aurélie Thomas entraîneront toute la famille à la suitede Rosa et Bianca, pour cinquante minutes d’émotions, de pianoforte et de bel canto.

CONCERT DU NOUVEL AN / GALA OFFENBACH

Saturday, 31 December 2022 - 20:00

Grand Théâtre de Genève

For our traditional New Year's concert, the Grand Théâtre offers you a trip to the fantastical comic universe of Jacques Offenbach. From the frenzied can-cans of La Vie parisienne to the Grand Duchess' love for men in uniform, with a detour via the underworld in Orpheus, we will celebrate the New Year Jules Verne-style, around the world with stops in Peru, Greece, Germany and who knows ... maybe even the Moon? Offenbach's world knows no borders! And of course, a New Year's Concert means a “Blue Danube”, but this time the waltz comes to us in the very special version by the little Mozart of the Champs-Élysées. On this bubbly menu, we feature tenor Stanislas de Barbeyrac, as well as the formidable Franco-Swiss mezzo Marina Viotti. As the sommelier of the evening, the very young conductor from Lausanne, Marc Leroy-Calatayud, will make the musicians of the Orchestre de Chambre de Genève sparkle with moonstruck madness.
