Maria João Pires & the OSR

Maria João Pires collaborates with the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, led by Jonathan Nott, to perform Mozart’s Concerto No. 27. The program also features Roxanna Panufnik’s “Modlitwa” and Tchaikovsky’s rarely performed Symphony No. 3. This transitional symphony, spanning five movements, showcases a range of styles from Russian influences to polonaise rhythms. Mozart’s Concerto No. 27, though lacking in overt virtuosity, is imbued with deep melancholy and resignation, making it one of the composer’s most poignant works. “Modlitwa” is a moving choral piece for string orchestra.

Back from the ashes like a mischievous phoenix, this stage adaptation of Hergé’s timeless comic hurls Bianca Castafiore’s shrill “Heavens, my jewels!” onto the boards and detonates a riotous, closed-door whodunnit inside the tranquil walls of Moulinsart: red herrings fly, misunderstandings snowball and Tintin’s entire gallery of eccentrics careen through a dazzling, hyper-faithful recreation of the album, where actors vanish into near-unrecognisable guises and the set itself crackles with playful theatrical sleight-of-hand—proof that some productions really do possess a magic, living soul of their own.

In French.  Ages 7 and up.

Ça Veut Jouer (Ou Bien?) is a witty and poetic one-man show by Robert Bouvier, who steps in as the unlikely Prince Siegfried when a ballet company is held up at the airport. Drawing on his own experiences as actor, director, and theater manager, Bouvier humorously recounts his artistic journey—from his first school play to leading the Théâtre du Passage in Neuchâtel—while sharing behind-the-scenes tales of politicians, patrons, and temperamental artists. Directed by Joëlle Bouvier and Simon Romang, the performance blends storytelling, music, and theatrical charm into an unforgettable solo experience.

Who hasn’t, as a child, woken up in the middle of the night, disoriented, surrounded by mysterious shapes that might be monsters—or maybe friends? “Bachibouzouk”, by the Philippe Saire Company, brings that in-between world to life, blending dance and object theatre in a poetic, twilight performance where imagination takes over once the lights go out.
