In this masterpiece of classical music, the great actor Lambert Wilson and the musicians blend theater and music to perfection.
A timeless masterpiece, serious and joyful, sublimated by Lambert Wilson's voice.

A poor soldier-doctor trades his violin for the devil and obtains a book that foretells the future. The price of this wealth? The destruction of past and present...
Composed by Stravinsky in 1917, at the height of the war, this pocket opera is distinguished by its small cast of seven musicians representing all instrumental families. The music, free and inventive, explores a variety of styles, from ragtime to tango, jazz and waltz, highlighted by the Lemanic Modern Ensemble, Geneva's legendary orchestra.

Lambert Wilson, an outstanding actor making his Bourg-en-Bresse debut, brings his charisma and captivating voice to this work. An accomplished actor and singer, he has collaborated with the greatest conductors and lent his voice to numerous shows (Peter and the Wolf, Œdipus Rex, Redemptions...) His talent and commitment give this story of a soldier a unique depth and intensity. A rare moment when theater and music come together to revisit the myth of Faust.
