Top 5 things to do this week (17-23 February)

From a Jazz and cocktail evening at La Réserve Genève, to a glamorous brassserie lunch at Le Lyrique, here’s our top 5  things to do this week in Geneva.

Glamorous brasserie lunch at Le Lyrique 

A bit of an institution, Le lyrique is the city’s oldest restaurant, an historic meeting place where Geneva’s artists, music-lovers and intellectuals would gather and socialise. The brasserie first opened its doors in 1881, and neighbour to the prestigious Grand Theatre and Victoria Hall, it quickly became the one of the most fashionable eateries in town. Today, it remains a popular spot amongst locals and visitors, and following a spectacular renovation after being bought by a private banker in 2017, the brasserie presents a glamorous dining space where the food tastes as good as it looks.

“The Brandenburg Concertos” ballet by Anna Teresa De Keersmaeker

The Grand Théâtre de Genève is one of the largest musical theatres  in French­-speaking Switzerland, hosting a  range of opera and ballet productions throughout the year. The theatre has been praised for its creative selection of classical and contemporary shows, and is set to impress this Friday with another captivating ballet. This Friday talented dancer and choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker will present “The Brandenburg Concertos,” a musical ballet named after the Brandenburg Concertos by Johann Sebastian Bach. During her 1980 stay in New York, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker rehearsed a dance piece called FASE to the music of Steve Reich, which later became her breakthrough as a dancer and choreographer. Almost 40 years later, De Keersmaeker has now crafted a two hour long piece to Bach’s six concerti grossi. Featuring 16 dancers and 23 musicians, the ballet explores a balanced dialogue between classical sounds and movement, set to captivate and inspire.
