The Let’s Talk Opera! series offers a friendly and dynamic introduction to various operas presented throughout the season.<\/p>\n

Hosted by musicologist Pierre Vachon, in the presence of singers and a pianist, Let’s Talk Opera! dives deep into the heart of the works in 75 minutes to discuss the history, music, voices, cultural context, composer, style, etc., and offers musical excerpts by opera singers.<\/p>\n

In collaboration with l\u2019Op\u00e9ra de Montr\u00e9al.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Barber of Seville-Rossini<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first play of a comic trilogy (Beaumarchais) that shocked the 18th-century elite is the basis of Rossini\u2019s masterpiece, The Barber of Seville. Teeming with action and bursting with unforgettable melodies, this opera is sure to make you break out into laughter. In the whimsical approach of stage director Joan Font and the Spanish troupe Els Comediants, this production cleverly incorporates some circus arts, acrobatics, and pantomime. For the occasion, the Orchestre M\u00e9tropolitain will reunite with Spanish conductor Pedro Halffter who conducted the OM in Madama Butterfly in 2023.<\/p>\n
