To celebrate the end of the year, come and enjoy some soup and mulled wine, and discover a previously unheard work by Frank Martin, Le Portail de glace, with sound design by Jonathan Frigeri.

Actress Anne-Cécile Moser brings the characters to life, while the Ensemble Contrechamps, conducted by Zoi Tsokanou, revives this forgotten radio fairy tale from 1944.

A couple sets off on a walk in the mountains, in the snow, with the intention of ending their lives in a poetic way. Music, text, and soundtracks accompany them on their journey!

For the occasion, the Auditorium Ansermet will once again become a real radio production studio, hosted live with an audience by Sylvie Lambelet!

An event co-produced with L'Odyssée Frank Martin.
