Grand Théâtre de Genève

The Grand Théâtre de Genève is the principal opera house of Geneva, built in 1879 by architect Jacques‑Élysée Goss. The building was conceived in a Beaux-Arts and Second Empire style, with a monumental stone façade and classical decorative elements reflecting the influence of major 19th-century European opera houses such as the Palais Garnier in Paris.

I have lived in Geneva for the past 4 years now and have travelled around, I have to say I haven't seen anything like this in my life. I saw "Un Américain à Paris" and immediately I was taken back by the music, I felt so immersed by the soundtrack. The actors were extremely talented, and worked fluidly as one. The scenes were very well designed. Big thank you for giving me the opportunity to come and see. Highly recommend it for anyone

Finally I made it! Since Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui directs the theater, I start following their program. Previously I saw shows in another venue so this is the first time in the theater. The 2019 renovation is a success and Stryjenski's ceiling is still spectacular. The location is easy to access and multiple bars offer drinks and simple food. It's possible to have dinner before the show although one hour is quite short. The first row of Amphitheater is the best value for money.

Because of Covid have not seen much of the theatre, only my part of amphitheatre. Robert Wilson presentation of Handel Messiah was interesting, but can't agree with grimacing Tenor. The ceiling of auditorium is impressive

In every country, I would like to see architecture, cultural places, and museums. This place has a Grand atmosphere and charm. I would like to visit this place when they will open for ballet. (September 2022)

DOPE TECHNO PARTY THERE Very medieval very beautiful architecture Highly recommended to visit in classic evening clothes.

This theater is beautiful with a big amphitheater, very good services, and the equipment is modern. The decorations in the amphitheater are unique.

I didn't get to see much of the inside, but what I did see was quite pretty. It's a really old building and a lot of the old interior design is either reconstructed or partly still there. In celebration of the re-opening of the building there was a fantastic light show on the facade of the Grand theater. Absolutely loved it. The nutcracker ballet was also very impressive.
