Grand Théâtre de Genève
Season 2025-2026
- Built in 1879, the Grand Théâtre de Genève is the largest artistic stage in Switzerland and is home to the Geneva Opera and the Geneva Ballet Company.
- Each season, it hosts nine opera series, three dance series, and a wide range of recitals and cultural activities, aimed at both youth and festive audiences, to expand its audience and honor its public service mission.
- Opera by Richard Wagner
- Sung in German with French and English surtitles
- Duration: approx. 4h20 with two intermissions
- Joyce DiDonato: mezzo-soprano
- Craig Terry: piano
Joyce DiDonato, the golden-toned international star, returns to the Grand Théâtre for a luminous recital with Craig Terry at the piano. From Haydn to Jake Heggie, by way of Mahler and Debussy, she deploys the full breadth of her art, between emotional power and dazzling virtuosity, in a programme spanning centuries and styles.

- Opera by Claude Debussy
- Sung in French with French and English surtitles
- Duration: approx.: 3h05 with one intermission
Under the aegis of the visionary Abramović-Jalet-Cherkaoui trio, silences become matter and bodies sculpt the ineffable story of Pelléas & Mélisande. It’s a weightless journey over which love takes shape within the whispers of a stellar choreography carried by the invisible breath of Debussy’s melodic waves.

- Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui & Damien Jalet
- 20 November: “glam night”
Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui’s new creation, Imperial Ball, enters into dialogue with the transcendent Boléro from the iconic Cherkaoui-Jalet-Abramović trio. From Vienna to Tokyo, beauty slips beneath the military strategies of a politically inspired waltz. Behind the masks, the Ballet du Grand Théâtre de Genève draws a social choreography as violent as it is sensitive, fanned in a final hypnotic spiral by the incantatory power of Boléro.

In the game of love, Tannhäuser is a sublime troublemaker. With its romantic impulses and powerful inner conflicts, Wagner’s inspired pen traverses the borders of the human soul in a world without nuance. Boiling over with romanticism, Daniel Johansson plays a Tannhäuser torn between Victoria Karkacheva’s sensual Venus and Jennifer Davis’s pure Elisabeth, secretly loved by Stéphane Degout as Wolfram.
