A word from the general director

It is with well-earned pride that the Opéra de Québec presents its programme for the next season, starring two of the favourite candidates of Plácido Domingo's Operalia, World Opera Competition for 2008. The stupefying Oksana Kramaryeva will return to Québec in October to incarnate Aïda, a role that she has already interpreted several times in Europe. The young Elena Xanthoudakis will again enchant us, in a début performance of Lucia here in Québec in May 2010. Two unique opportunities to experience the sheer beauty of music!

Join the festivities of the 2009 version of the Gala de l'Opéra, the annual celebration of passion, an evening where all will share some of the magical moments of the opera.

It will be our pleasure to see you there,

Grégoire Legendre
General and Artistic Director

Season 2010-2011

(Québec, March 17, 2010) - Grégoire Legendre, the General and Artistic Director of the Opéra de Québec, is proud to unveil the 27th season of the Opéra de Québec.

The Opéra de Québec will present two masterworks that it has never performed before: Il Trovatore by Verdi, a great dream finally comes true, and Die Fledermaus by Johann Strauss, a fantastic story, full of folly, a show that must absolutely be seen and heard, together with the Gala, which has become an indispensable night out for Québec’s opera lovers.

In an effort to introduce the next generation to lyric art, the Opéra de Québec continues to invite students from secondary schools in the greater Québec region to attend dress rehearsals at no charge. Ever since the spring of 1999, we have received 1,350 school-age children at each production. That means that more than 30,000 students, from 11 to 17 years of age, have been initiated to the opera at one or another of 22 different productions.
