It’s a pleasure to welcome back stage director Julien Chavaz (Le Dragon d'Or, 2023) for this production of Gerald Barry’s offbeat opera for a young audience, a collaboration with the Orchestre de Chambre de Genève and the Grand Théâtre de Genève. Drawing his inspiration from the books Alice in Wonderland and Alice Through the Looking-Glass, the composer has created a score packed with grotesque humor and dreamlike imagery, echoing the books of Lewis Carroll.
