Led by conductor Antoine Marguier, this musical retelling of Geneva’s Escalade brings Mère Royaume and the night’s characters to life. Soprano Capucine Keller embodies Mère Royaume, while composer-librettist Robert Clerc and librettist Antoine Courvoisier shape a narrative sung and orchestrated for dramatic effect. The production blends orchestral color, spoken fragments and theatrical gesture, alternating playful fanfare with hushed, reflective passages. Lighting and pacing evoke both communal celebration and intimate memory, creating a vivid, lyrical journey.
