A music box? Le Box is a music-programming association with its own concert or performance hall in the basement. All you have to do is go down a few steps to the restaurant Le Cheval Blanc, in Carouge. In fact, the sign announces "Le Box-Cheval Blanc". Two inseparable and complementary universes where you can enjoy a good time with night owls or your family at the weekend. Concerts, quality shows or themed evenings.

At Les Eaux Vives, La Comédie du ^XXIe siècle is housed in this modern building with its large bay windows, almost too much concrete, which seems to have come straight out of the future.

Many operas and ballets, but also classical music, song, gospel, humor, theater. The great stars in vogue or ex-great stars pass there regularly. The room is very pleasant, all dressed in red velvet and we appreciate the underground parking.

It's a great brand new theater, all cubic shapes. You can even sponsor a brick. It's worth it, it's a pleasure to go there. The programming is excellent, with classic plays such as La Règle du jeu, by Jean Renoir, or En attendant Godot, which probably won't be coming, but the pleasure is there.

also a must. Now renamed the "Centre de Production et de Diffusion des Arts Vivants", the Théâtre produces, performs and broadcasts shows, with all the hard work that implies... It has a richly varied program, with contemporary authors rubbing shoulders with the classics, drama spawning alongside comedy, and a wide range of disciplines (theater, music, video, etc.).

It's an auteur cinema, with excellent programming, which is still very much appreciated at a time when film is gradually disappearing, under the sign of AI and new films broadcast only on the Net. It's an art-house cinema that still has its soul. It's the cinema of reference for auteur works, foreign films and a look at current affairs, with a program that gives pride of place to little gems from all horizons. It's a cinema that still retains a genuine atmosphere imbued with the fullness of seeing a good film, a real one.

One of the must of Geneva life. The Velvet Club is a dream place to spend a wild night. This club has been entertaining night owls for over forty-five years. In a muffled atmosphere and under the subdued lights, you will appreciate the show of the professional dancers and the very good atmosphere which reigns. The place is favourable to beautiful meetings and, for the dancers, the dance floor welcomes them. An address known by the Genevans and of very good quality for those who like the world of the night.

A surprising brown, with a very confusing configuration (no seats on the first floor and a curious layout on the second floor), this cinema, dating from 1957, felt the wind of the ball blowing very close. Its scheduled demolition caused such an outcry that the premises were saved from the project by the Geneva public. Since then, films from various film festivals (those of the Grütli), conferences and film clubs have been screened here. An original setting, you can feel the weight of the years.
