Philemon and Baucis

{"title":"Philemon and Baucis","description":"\u003Cp\u003EDirected by Kim Crofts, this luminous puppet opera reimagines Joseph Haydn's Philemon and Baucis through a contemporary lens. Puppets give physical presence to gods and villagers, while spoken text alternates with operatic arias performed with the Geneva Chamber Orchestra in co\u2011production with the OCG and the Ecolint Arts Centre. Themes of divine judgement, hospitality and human greed unfold in a staged world ablaze, where attentive sound and lighting design shape intimacy, menace and fragile mercy.\u003C\/p\u003E","start_date":"2026-05-09","end_date":"2026-05-10","date":"9 - 10 May","timings":[{"timing_start_date":"20260509T090000Z","timing_end_date":"20260509T095000Z"},{"timing_start_date":"20260509T140000Z","timing_end_date":"20260509T145000Z"},{"timing_start_date":"20260510T090000Z","timing_end_date":"20260510T095000Z"},{"timing_start_date":"20260510T140000Z","timing_end_date":"20260510T145000Z"}]}
