Christmas Concert – Lancy-Geneva Orchestra

Conductor Roberto Sawicki leads the Lancy-Geneva Orchestra in a warm, orange-and-cinnamon scented Christmas programme celebrating the ensemble’s 50th anniversary. Three soloists — Madoka Sakitsu-Lapeyre (violin), Kamil Mukhametdinov (cello) and organist Jean-Christophe Orange — alternate luminous, spiritual repertoire that spans baroque and classical textures. From Vivaldi’s virtuosic Winter and Heinichen’s Pastorale to Bach chorale echoes and Mozart sonatas and divertimento, the evening unfolds with radiant sonorities and fresh, intimate interplay between organ, strings and orchestra.

A theatrical adaptation of Plato’s “The Republic,” directed by José Lillo, delves into the timeless themes of governance and justice.

The cast includes Jean-Alexandre Blanchet, Felipe Castro, and other talents. Supported by the City of Geneva, this production invites audiences to reflect anew on Plato’s insights into the perils of power concentration and unchecked profit.

18 November – 21 December

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.

 

13 – 31 December
