Published on 4.17.25
The opera house has long been a revered institution for its grandeur and cultural significance, but recent events have pushed the boundaries of what is possible in this iconic setting. A unique sleepover event at the Grand Theatre in Geneva showcased the versatility of the opera house as a space for artistic expression and community engagement.
One notable example of this was the "opera house in the desert" set designed for the event, which featured multiple costume changes and stunning visuals. This immersive experience was made possible by the collaboration between Italian pianist Marino Formenti and the Baroque music ensemble "The Argonauts", who performed musical interludes throughout the night.
The sleepover event at the Grand Theatre in Geneva also featured a diverse playlist that spanned from Baroque to rock, allowing attendees to enjoy the music while sleeping on balconies, auditorium chairs, or on the floor. The event's organizer, Adrien Mangili, aimed to create a unique experience that would bring people together and make them smile.
The success of these events demonstrates the opera house's potential as a space for artistic experimentation and community engagement, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in this iconic setting.
