SOMETHING DIFFERENT
For his fourth opera, Le Petit Prince, French composer Michaël Levinas
takes his inspiration from the children’s literary classic, The Little Prince.
Levinas imagines a piece that, like the book, can speak to both children
and adults. Sung in French.

More than just a festival, Antigel acts as a tour operator and a stimulant
for the whole Geneva region. In a flurry of sound and movement, Antigel
draws a map that explores the extraordinary cultural wealth and diversity
of the Geneva communes, blurs the boundaries between art forms and
opens up new artistic horizons.
