Elsa Dreisig’s radiant soprano inhabits a diverse recital programme led by pianist Joseph Middleton. From the incisive wit of Poulenc and Satie to the intimate lyricism of Hahn and Spanish and Scandinavian mélodies, the evening traces portraits of love and womanhood. At its heart Dreisig performs Robert Schumann’s Frauenliebe und Leben in full, offering a seamless blend of dramatic intensity, refined musicality and luminous tone that transforms familiar songs into a vivid, theatrical journey.
Succès Reprise is a sparkling vaudeville that blurs the line between theatrical comedy and the comedy of everyday life. A charming love triangle performed by a tight trio of actors unfolds through rapid-fire exchanges, physical gags and shifting misunderstandings. The staging favours bright pace and playful timing, delivering light-hearted warmth while revealing awkward human impulses and social foibles. The piece leaves a lingering smile and a sense of affectionate irony.

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?

Harpsichordist Hadrien Jourdan offers an immersive reading of Bach’s Partitas BWV 826, 829 and 830 from the Clavier-Übung I. The programme highlights Bach’s mature synthesis of French, Italian and German styles—the gemischter Stil—where dance forms, preludes and character pieces unfold with rhetorical clarity. Jourdan’s articulation and pacing reveal both structural brilliance and quiet affect, while the music’s contrasts create intimate and expansive moments that refresh the spirit and invite deep listening to its emotional and expressive richness.
Revived by director Ninon Fachard after the original staging by Véronique Ros de la Grange, this solo piece stars Jacques Michel with Caroline Gasser as the prompter. Lighting by Rinaldo Del Boca and music by Alain Lamarche carve intimate, shadowed spaces around a red sequined curtain. Makeup by Natalia Lepianka and costumes by Emilie Revel shape the fading glamour of a music‑hall star who soliloquises, recalls past glory and loss, and sings in playback—an inward plunge toward memory and survival.

Set beneath a neon restaurant sign in a Tirana suburb, this non-verbal theatrical-musical performance stages a son’s interior journey. Mario Banushi invites memories and nostalgia to confront the absence of his father, a cook and tavern owner. Fragmented scenes shift between everyday domesticity and hallucinatory tableaux, exploring grief, silence and unspoken bonds through physicality, music and evocative staging. The work balances intimacy and ritual, drawing the audience into a sparse, haunting world.
Julien Doré, the singer‑songwriter revealed by La Nouvelle Star in 2007, offers dynamic, sensitive and often humorous pop.

Expect playful arrangements, striking imagery and a charismatic presence that shifts between tenderness and irreverence, exploring emotion and humour with theatrical flair.
