The Call of the Forest in Geneva Music

Featuring harpist Julie Campiche, this musical-vegetal immersion traces how the urban forests around Geneva have shaped local soundscapes. Combining live harp, recorded sounds, video fragments and spoken stories, the performance moves between delicate textures and untamed echoes, evoking roots, caves and rivers that feed musical imagination. Presented in conjunction with the exhibition SAUVAGES by Claude Barras, it offers a contemplative, sensory journey that blends ecological memory with intimate live music.

David McVicar’s staging of Mozart’s The Magic Flute frames a fantastical quest of love and initiation. The production features Julia Bullock (Pamina), Amitai Pati (Tamino), Huw Montague Rendall (Papageno), Kathryn Lewek (Queen of the Night) and Soloman Howard (Sarastro), led by conductor Marie Jacquot in her anticipated Covent Garden debut. McVicar balances fairy-tale spectacle and intimate emotion, conjuring luminous ensembles and eerie choruses, where the enchanted flute guides encounters with danger, wonder and sudden tenderness.

21 April – 10 May

Chekhov’s Ivanov follows Nikolai Ivanov, a middling Russian landowner crushed by debt and by the slow decline of his wife, Anna Petrovna, who is dying of tuberculosis. Across four acts, his inertia curdles into melancholy and self-destruction, swinging between biting comedy and harrowing despair. Written in a ten-day burst in 1887, when Chekhov was only twenty-seven, the play crackles with youthful urgency as tragedy and humor intertwine.

Director–actor Jean-François Sivadier infuses this new staging with his distinctive theatrical energy, pairing veteran performers with fresh faces to reignite the play’s original heat. Echoing Gustav Mahler’s dictum that “tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire,” the production seeks to keep Chekhov’s raw, combustible spirit blazing on today’s stage.

21 April – 10 May

Based on the Jekyll myth, this theatrical adaptation examines metamorphosis as both physical and social, probing identity, gender and the boundary between good and male/female. Stark black-and-white staging and chiaroscuro lighting evoke twilight and old horror films, while a persistent, slicing fog thickens the atmosphere. The venerable Dr Jekyll’s unsettling experiments unfold in a late-19th-century London laboratory, and his circle is drawn into mounting anguish as transformations accelerate.
