Faada Freddy, a leading voice in gospel and a master of soul and blues, joins the Geneva Camerata for an intimate concert blending a cappella singing with instrumental performance. His hushed, luxuriant voice explores deep emotional terrain, supported by the ensemble’s refined textures. The programme features an original set for Freddy and a capella musicians alongside a performance of Sibelius’s Symphony No. 2, offering contrast between chamber lyricism and expressive orchestral breadth.

Norwegian soprano Lise Davidsen brings her acclaimed Met Opera presence to a Schubert recital that probes the intimate link between music and literature. Her interpretations illuminate Schubert’s fascination with Goethe, culminating in a dramatic reading of the ballad that inspired Erlkönig. With luminous tone and concentrated phrasing, Davidsen shapes each lied with emotional clarity, balancing lyricism and intensity to reveal the poetry’s dark undercurrents.

Choreographed by Damien Jalet and Kyle Abraham, Oceans presents a diptych that channels the energy and metamorphoses of water. Jalet’s hypnotic Brise‑lames, created with artist JR to a score by Koki Nakano, assembles nine dancers into a human wave that evokes power, fragility and resilience. Abraham’s River Without Banks, set to Leo Svirsky’s entrancing music, investigates the passage of time and emotional vulnerability through solos, duets and ensembles within a constantly shifting scenographic and lighting design by Dan Scully.

Directed by Jetske Mijnssen and musically led by Marta Gardolińska, this production of Mozart’s opera (libretto by Lorenzo Da Ponte, after Beaumarchais) follows Count Almaviva’s attempts to seduce Susanna as Figaro and Susanna prepare to marry. Mijnssen situates the drama in a revolutionary horizon amid the fading rococo splendour of a frivolous, decadent aristocracy. The staging balances comic intrigue and social critique while highlighting Mozart’s luminous ensembles and ensemble writing.
