Charles – The Opera is an original work by the Vaud-based composer Jimena Marazzi, based on a libretto by the Fribourg-based author Mélanie Carrel.
As part of the commemorations of the Battles of Grandson and Murten (1476), the work recounts the fate of Charles the Bold and sheds light on the political, military, and human challenges of the 15th century. Presented in two languages (French–German), the production combines singing, theater, and live music, bringing together over 40 singers and 13 professional instrumentalists from the area. Before and after the performance, staged interventions deepen the historical understanding. Performed in the courtyards of the castles of Grandson and Münchenwiler—directly linked to the historical events—Charles – The Opera offers a unique artistic and cultural experience at the heart of the 2026 commemorations.
