L’Italienne à Alger

The new production of Rossini’s opera “L’Italienne à Alger,” directed by Julien Chavaz and conducted by Michele Spotti, promises a delightful twist on an operatic masterpiece. This satirical opera buffa, composed in 1813, subverts traditional norms with its blend of comedy and absurdity. Gaëlle Arquez takes on the role of Isabella, alongside performances by Nahuel Di Pierro and Maxim Mironov. Adding to the experience, a “Glam Night” is planned, with surtitles available in both French and English. The production features the Chorus of the Grand Théâtre de Genève and the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande and will be held at the Bâtiment des Forces Motrices.

Poussière de Crotte dans le Cœur d’une Diva by Marlène Charpentié is a surreal solo performance blending theater, dance, and clowning in a fantastical cabaret setting.
