Chant de la nuit

Booking Required

Under the baton of Jonathan Nott, this symphonic programme pairs contemporary sound with late-Romantic depth. Janine Jansen’s violin brings Dubugnon’s Sonnenring — a concerto inspired by the visionary art of Adolf Wölfli and premiered in Switzerland — to life with fearless lyricism. The evening culminates in Gustav Mahler’s expansive Symphony No. 7, “Chant de la nuit”, its nocturnal textures explored with shimmering orchestral colour. The performance stems from a commission shared by the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande and the London Symphony Orchestra.

At the crossroads of theatre, mixed reality and technological installation, this immersive performance invites audiences to test the machine built by a scientist to tackle existential problems. Wearing mixed-reality headsets, spectators collectively explore the chaotic inner world of a person trapped by indecision. The experience moves between human vulnerability and artificial intelligence, until the machine itself begins to falter in the face of what it cannot fully understand.

Led by musical director Tovinho, Alceu Valença celebrates eight decades with a career-spanning concert blending Northeastern Brazilian rhythms—frevo, maracatu and cirandas—with contemporary arrangements. Backed by Cássio Cunha (drums), Zi Ferreira (guitar), Nando Barreto (bass), André Julião (accordion) and Costinha (flutes), and featuring guests Lui Coimbra (cello) and Natalia Mitre (percussion), the show pairs vibrant percussion and sunlit melodies with dreamlike projections by Rafael Todeschini, summoning carnival energy and intimate nostalgia across his repertoire.

10 – 11 November

Choreographed by Olga de Soto, this intimate solo examines Kurt Jooss’s La Table verte through memory, political legacy and the choreographer’s questioning. On a bare stage, de Soto is accompanied by projected archival images and videos, narrating her research and creative process. The piece traces before-and-after echoes of the original ballet, combining investigative reflection with poetic movement. Co-created with Arta Sperto and Dance First Think Later, the work unfolds as a rigorous yet lyrical inquiry into art, history and witness.

3 – 22 November

Directed by Marie-José Malis, Retour au pays revisits Hugo von Hofmannsthal’s letters through a spare, lucid staging. Performers Alexandra Tiedemann and Juan Crespillo inhabit the returning merchant’s disorientation, while Aurélia Ansermet provides live music and sound. Bernard Héritier’s scenography and Jessy Ducatillon’s lighting shape moments of visual surprise, most poignantly a Van Gogh encounter that restores belief in the world. The piece refuses facile answers, offering theatrical lucidity and an austere emotional clarity.

In French.

10 November – 6 December

Directed by Brigitte Rosset, this intimate comedy follows Lucie, a celebrated playwright trapped by silence, and Thomas, her eccentric new neighbour whose clumsy misadventures rekindle her imagination. Performed by Mauro Bellucci and Camille Figuereo, the staging plays with the boundaries between fiction and reality, mixing subtle humour, melancholic moments and theatrical invention. The production honours the original text by Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de La Patellière.

In French.
