LE CHEVALIER A LA ROSE
Comédie en musique de Richard Strauss
Performance of your choice
Grand Théâtre de Genève
Viennese actor and Tarantino star Christoph Waltz made his operatic directorial debut in 2013 with this production of Der Rosenkavalier, where we meet the aristocratic Marshallin; her very young lover, Count Octavian Rofrano; her boorish cousin, Baron Ochs; and Ochs's future fiancée, Sophie von Faninal, a rich bourgeois girl. The piece is a “comedy in music", but it also deals with infidelity, ageing, sexual and venal predation and altruism in love. Often staged in an overdecorated rococo boudoir, Christoph Waltz filters the psychological precision of The Knight with the Rose through his refined and very detailed reading, putting his finger on the very serious contemporary resonance of the comic devices of yesteryear: Baron Ochs caught in flagrante at an inn on the outskirts of Vienna in 1750 points to a certain scandal in a New York Sofitel in 2011 and to a cascade of hashtags challenging patriarchal power trips.

JUSTICE
de Hèctor Parra

February 2019. A tanker carrying acid used in the processing of minerals by industry collides with a bus on a road in Katanga, between Lubumbashi and Kolwezi, in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The result: more than 20 dead and many injured. Choosing an event involving a Swiss multinational in the DRC, Switzerland's best-known stage director, Milo Rau, delivers his second opera project, a choral and elegiac work on the fate of this village, of these fates ripped apart and, beyond that, a reflection on the forces of good and evil and the interests of both sides. A dance of death, set in motion by a libretto written by the Congolese writer, Fiston Mwanza Mujila, in collaboration with Milo Rau and the Catalan composer Hèctor Parra, who composes the score of this new opera with its chillingly laconic title: Justice.

Dramma per musica de Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Grand Théâtre de Genève
The Grand Théâtre de Genève's cruise in the waters of opera-ballet with Leonardo García Alarcón at the helm goes full steam ahead with this new production captained by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui with crew of dancers. Idomeneo, written at the age of 25 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, is an opera built around a terrible storm at sea, the result of the struggle between Neptune, who favours the King of Crete Idomeneo on his return from the Trojan War, and Fate, who opposes him. Fate or karma, one of whose symbols in East Asia is the thread. Japanese visual artist Chiharu Shiota designs the set with her trademark: red threads that form a continuously moving palace, a raging ocean, a garden or a sea monster as the gods clash with human destinies.

SAINT FRANCOIS D'ASSISE
d'Olivier Messiaen
Performance of your choice
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
de Gaetano Donizetti
Performance of your choice
Grand Théâtre de Genève
To close our Tudor 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. -

de Gaetano Donizetti

Une trilogie c’est l’occasion de raconter une histoire en plusieurs épisodes. Ici, c’est en plus l’occasion de trouver des points communs entre les personnages et de pouvoir les connaître de près, de grandir et de vieillir avec eux, en tout cas pour ceux qui ne se font pas décapiter en cours de route. Agençant dès le début Anna Bolena, Maria Stuarda et Roberto Devereux comme un tout, Mariame Clément et Julia Hansen se sont appliquées à faire des liens ainsi que des variations, mais surtout à créer des sas entre ces pièces. Maintenant qu’on pourra parcourir ce décor de fantômes à souhait d’un temps à l’autre, est-ce que les miroirs s’inverseront ? En tout cas, pouvoir expérimenter ces trois opéras, comme un Ring de Wagner, l’un à la suite de l’autre pendant une semaine, est une occasion très rare. Pour les solistes, ce sera certainement un labyrinthe de virtuosité, de mémoire et d’endurance. Un événement lyrique à ne pas manquer donc : evviva Donizetti et longue vie au belcanto !

PLANET (Wanderer)
de Damien Jalet et Kohei Nawa
Performance of your choice
Grand Théâtre de Genève
After their first mobile sculptural performance Vessel, Franco-Belgian choreographer Damien Jalet and Japanese visual artist Kohei Nawa offer Planet [wanderer] as an echo to Vessel in the second half of a diptych. The word "planet" comes from the Greek word for wanderer; Jalet and Nawa plunge a group of eight dancers into an initiation journey of drifting bodies through the metaphoric space of Kyoto’s dry gardens. Being adrift is the first attribute of all bodies in this universe: Planet [wanderer] abstractly explores the physical confrontation of the human body and various experimental materials, elements and gravity, activating a raw and dreamlike love story between humans and the planet to which they are bound.

de Rachid Ouramdane

Grand Théâtre de Genève
Habitué des projets à la croisée des disciplines, Rachid Ouramdane, directeur de Chaillot — Théâtre National de la danse, s'empare des danseurs et danseuses du ballet pour Outsider, une collaboration inédite du Ballet du GTG avec notre programmation La Plage. Équilibriste, à la recherche non pas de la perfection mais d'une maîtrise du geste juste, voici que Ouramdane mêle des sportifs de l'extrême aux fugues du groupe chorégraphié, étendant le pouvoir des uns et des autres par le croisement de leurs personnalités. Ouramdane est fasciné par le moment de la chute, ou cette ligne se brise ... ou presque. Ces lignes enchevêtrées se retrouveront aussi dans la scénographie et de manière immatérielle dans la musique. Ce seront les compositions pour pianos du compositeur
américain Julius Eastman qu'on sortira pour cette rencontre de l'oubli.
Figure de la scène minimaliste new-yorkaise, Eastman était engagé
politiquement, une figure de la culture queer et un poète solitaire dont
la mélancolie a influencé son génie ainsi que son destin tragique. -

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...

Henry's Dream Machine
Hush, hush, shush, shush! Listen carefully and open your eyes
to discover Henry's extraordinary dream machine. Henry
who? Henry Purcell, the great English composer who lived in
the 17th century at the court of the Kings and Queens of
England. Henry's Dream Machine is a theatrical miniature
from that opens fantastic worlds to be explored in images
and music, in the company of a soprano, a lute player and an
accordionist. A boat in a storm, fabulous creatures, lush
gardens, coloured stained glass windows and basket
dresses... Through excerpts from The Fairy Queen or King
Arthur and The Funeral of Queen Mary, let all, young and old,
step forth into the magical baroque of Henry's dreams.
