It looks like Pelléas et Mélisande is going ahead at the Grand Théâtre.

I never thought this production would happen, but here I am in Geneva to perform Mélisande! I have to say it’s wonderful to be back on stage and to sing for the first time in this beautiful operahouse in Geneva. This year has been tough for everyone, and of course lives are most important..but I have to admit I feel that culture is something politicians seem to think is not so important..seeing empty stages and theatres all around the world, but packed shopping malls! I think there are many ways to perform in a safe way if we use some imagination, and I really think live theatre/opera/concerts and all artforms always have been an essential and important part of human history..also through our darkest times…
I had a costume fitting today and I also think this dress made by Iris Van Herpen is a piece of art! Stay safe!
