Let It B — Bach, Britten & Beethoven

Under the direction of Sergey Ostrovsky, this classical concert pairs luminous Baroque textures with 20th-century intimacy. Flutist Natan C’zorzi brings warmth to Bach’s orchestral suite, while Sarah Pagin’s soprano and Noémie Bialobroda’s alto deliver Britten’s vocal cycles with expressive clarity. The programme culminates in a delicate string-orchestra arrangement of Beethoven’s late quartet, offering a contemplative, chamber-like sound. The evening balances technical finesse and emotional depth, inviting attentive listening in a refined acoustic setting.

A theatrical, musical and visual voyage into the heart of the Mediterranean, Poésidonia brings together forty actors, singers and musicians in a vibrant chorus.

Created and performed by Elina Kulikova and Dima Efremov, TRILOGIE DE LA GUERRE interweaves three musical-performance pieces responding to exile, the war in Ukraine and repression in Russia. Kulikova’s chapters evoke classical and folk song, transforming lament into a ritualised, sensory mourning; Efremov’s contribution uses sound art and electro textures to shift perspective and map clandestine networks of resistance. Together the trilogy forms a compact dramaturgy of intimacy, unease and fragile hope, immersive and politically charged.

Directed by Jean Bellorini in collaboration with Yang Hua Theatre, this staging reimagines Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s Le Petit Prince with the title character portrayed by a Chinese actor.

Actors François Deblock and Marc Plas perform alongside a cast that shifts between a childlike prince, an ancient reciter of poems and fantastical cosmic inhabitants. The staging mixes song, poetry and intimate theatricality, exploring friendship and human connection.
