The Grand Théâtre de Genève is an opera house located in the Swiss city of It is also one of the oldest theaters in Switzerland and Europe. The Grand Théâtre de Genève opened in 1876, had a fire in 1951 and reopened in 1962, and the history of the Grand Théâtre de Genève Ballet dates back to the early 19th century.

From the beginning of the 20th century, Emile Jacques Dalcroze and Ennet were the first ballet companies to open in Switzerland. It was these two musicians who introduced the Russian ballet represented by Gagirev and the ballet style of Nijinsky to the region. During and after the Second World War, the Grand Théâtre de Genève Ballet choreographed a large number of classical group dances, duos, as well as operas and light operas to accompany the dances. In 1951, the Grand Théâtre de Genève was tragically destroyed by fire, and during the reconstruction period, only the local casino hosted ballet performances by the Paris Opera Ballet and Maurice Bergé.

In 1962, to mark the rebirth of the Grand Théâtre de Genève, artist Janine Sallet expanded the company's lineup. Following Sarai, the artistic director was Cyril Golovin, a world-renowned master of classical ballet of his generation. For five years, from 1964 to 1969, he not only presented a large number of outstanding works to the audience as choreographer and principal dancer, but also was a ballet master of the world.

At the beginning of the 1988-1989 season, Gladimir Pankov, artistic director of the Finnish National Ballet and the Swedish Carlberg Ballet, took the helm of the Grand Théâtre de Genève Ballet. Under his leadership, the company gradually broke away from the old monotony and opened a new chapter, with many world-class guest choreographers bringing a diversity of styles to the company.

In 2009, Tobias Licht became the artistic director of the company, continuing to inject new blood into the company. With tours in North America, South America, Australia and Asia, the company shares their love and passion with audiences around the world who appreciate and love the arts.

The Grand Théâtre de Genève was built in 1879 by Jack Ellis Goss in a post-classical style, alongside the recently completed Opéra Garnier. Today, its appearance, the symmetrical staircase of the hall and the foyer connecting the audience hall still remind people of its former glory. On May 1, 1951, during a rehearsal for Wagner's "walküre" decorations, a set fire test caused a fire that damaged the auditorium and the stage. Calls against reconstruction, coupled with economic difficulties, delayed the reconstruction of the theater until December 1962, when it was reopened. Since the original style of the exterior was preserved, the auditorium was redesigned to fit the style of the era.
