Composed by Irish musician Gerald Barry, the opera features an energetic score that blends humor, grotesque elements, and dreamlike sequences, matching the whimsical and anarchic world of Carroll’s stories. The cast includes Alice (Alison Scherzer), the Red Queen (Emilie Renard), and other quirky characters like the White Rabbit, Humpty Dumpty, and the March Hare.
Directed by Julien Chavaz, the production includes colorful, rhythmic staging and is accompanied by the Orchestre de Chambre de Genève and musicians from Contrechamps. The performance features some visual effects, including flashing lights, which may affect those with photosensitivity.
