Discover the legendary ballets of Maurice Béjart performed by the Béjart Ballet Lausanne , a unique opportunity to relive at La Seine Musicale the choreographer's masterpieces which continue to captivate and inspire audiences around the world.

Béjart et nous is a journey through the dance (and musical) repertoire of Maurice Béjart composed of solos , pas de deux and ensembles taken from different ballets such as Wien, Wien, nur du Allein , The 9th Symphony, Mozart-Tango, Brel and Barbara etc… A sensitive artistic proposal by Julien Favreau , an immersion in the heart of the eclectic and abundant work of the Master, interpreted by the dancers of his company today.

The Firebird evokes the rebirth and splendor of the Phoenix, set to powerful music by Igor Stravinsky . Through this work, Béjart highlights both the richness of Russian culture and a break with tradition, bringing a new vision to choreography . The intensity of the moving bodies translates the rise and transformation of the myth, in an explosion of light and color.

Boléro is a captivating work that transcends time and borders. Dive into the heart of one of the most iconic masterpieces of the 20th century , the result of the encounter between the hypnotic music of Maurice Ravel and the choreography of Maurice Béjart . On stage, the central performer embodies an intense, repetitive dance, described by Béjart himself: “ A melody – of oriental and not Spanish origin – wraps itself tirelessly around itself, increasing in volume and intensity, devouring the sound space and finally engulfing the melody .” This ballet symbolizes strength, passion and unity , captivating the spectator until the last note. The Béjart Ballet Lausanne offers you the rare opportunity to rediscover this timeless gem, a performance that fascinates and inspires generations of spectators around the world.

An essential choreographic triptych which brings together the major works of the Béjart Ballet Lausanne , the opportunity to (re)discover these legendary ballets created by Maurice Béjart , on the Grande Seine of La Seine Musicale .

Auditorium Patrick Devedjian

Nestled like a gem in a case of glass and wood, the Auditorium Patrick Devedjian is the centerpiece of our building. It can accommodate up to 1,150 spectators and is dedicated to acoustic music, featuring the greatest classical ensembles and musicians, foremost among them the resident orchestra: Insula orchestra.

Its appearance is open to interpretation: a bird's nest, a giant liner, "the ball"...

From the outside, its glass facade is protected and powered by a gigantic array of solar panels that moves in synchronization with the sun, overlooking the concrete liner.

From the inside, the 1,150-seat hall awakens our senses. Dedicated to classical music, jazz, and world music concerts, its light blonde wooden ceiling, cardboard tubes, and paper reveal all the secrets of the excellent acoustics of this stage.

 

Its Acoustics

Studied by the Nagata and Jean-Paul Lamoureux firm to ensure the best possible sound reproduction for the audience. All precautions have been taken to guarantee exceptional acoustics with the precision of a musical instrument.

 

Its Design

Modular, its vineyard-style arrangement creates a genuine proximity with the audience surrounding the artists. The interplay of lights, the beauty of materials (wood, mosaics, glass), and the 360° panorama are all designed to match the pleasure of the eyes with that of the ears.

Its design aims to create a sense of visual and acoustic intimacy shared between the audience and the musicians. The atmosphere of the hall is warm, with curved wooden walls and ceiling contributing to the hall’s unique sound identity. Access to the hall is provided on three levels by large suspended walkways offering panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. These are connected by large staircases forming a continuous promenade around the hall.
