Speechless!

The OSR, under the batons of Daniel Harding, will perform Jörg Widmann’s Viola Concerto with Antoine Tamestit as the soloist, followed by Wagner’s “The Ring Without Words” . In this concerto, Tamestit assumes roles that go beyond being a violist, engaging as an actor, dancer, conductor, and violist, and interacting dynamically with the orchestra. The evening’s second half is dedicated to Lorin Maazel’s arrangement of Wagner’s “Ring,” which ingeniously transforms the opera into a cohesive symphonic poem.

18 November – 21 December

Back from the ashes like a mischievous phoenix, this stage adaptation of Hergé’s timeless comic hurls Bianca Castafiore’s shrill “Heavens, my jewels!” onto the boards and detonates a riotous, closed-door whodunnit inside the tranquil walls of Moulinsart: red herrings fly, misunderstandings snowball and Tintin’s entire gallery of eccentrics careen through a dazzling, hyper-faithful recreation of the album, where actors vanish into near-unrecognisable guises and the set itself crackles with playful theatrical sleight-of-hand—proof that some productions really do possess a magic, living soul of their own.

In French.  Ages 7 and up.
