Amor y Pasión — by Estelle Revaz & Tjasha Gafner

Performances

Booking Required

Performed by Estelle Revaz (cello) and Tjasha Gafner (harp), Amor y Pasión is an intimate duo steeped in Hispanic inspiration. The cello, often likened to the human voice, entwines with the harp’s luminous textures to express deep sentiment. A programme of celebrated South American and Hispanic works moves between tango rhythms, love songs and gaucho legends, alternating lyrical introspection and fiery dance. The result is a sensorial journey of warmth, tension and ardour that foregrounds timbre and expressive nuance.

Le dîner de cocus

Performances

Théâtre de la Madeleine

Conceived by Jacques Gay, this new musical comedy unravels a dinner full of twists where the secret lives of the guests surface by chance. An ensemble cast shifts between comic timing and sudden poignancy, carried by an original score and witty lyrics. The staging trades realism for theatrical invention, with clever scenic shifts, expressive lighting and playful costume moments that heighten social masks and misunderstandings.

15th Anniversary of the Orchestre des Nations — Mozart & Shostakovich

Performances

Victoria Hall

Under the baton of Antoine Marguier, the Orchestre des Nations marks its fifteenth anniversary in a program that juxtaposes Mozart’s crystalline lyricism with Shostakovich’s stormier drama. Pianist Matei Varga offers a poised, introspective account of Mozart’s Piano Concerto No.20, while the orchestra moves through Shostakovich’s Fifth with tense rhythms and luminous orchestral colours. The evening traces a dramaturgy of light and shadow, inviting listeners into a tense, cathartic journey shaped by rigorous ensemble playing and concentrated emotional intensity.

Le Tartuffe

Performances

Théâtre de Carouge

Molière’s Tartuffe tells the story of a slick con-man who hides behind ostentatious piety to worm his way into the wealthy Orgon household. Orgon, dazzled by Tartuffe’s sanctimonious rhetoric, defends him even as the impostor’s hypocrisy poisons family bonds and pushes the household toward ruin.

Director Jean Liermier underscores how, in Molière’s work, the female characters serve as the moral compass and spark of resistance, a beacon of hope against oppression. Staged on a stark, minimalist set that exposes the family’s rigid tensions—and featuring Gilles Privat as an unbending Orgon—this production highlights the play’s continuing resonance in a world beset by egotism, fanaticism, and conspiracy thinking. The central question remains timeless: will society keep falling for Tartuffe’s brand of seductive deceit?

In French. Ages 12 and up.
