Festival d'opéra de Québec
So grand, so human. Now a must-see of the cultural summer, the Festival d'opéra de Québec offers fifteen days of total immersion in the world of opera. For this milestone edition, the programming is diverse, coherent, and resolutely rooted in our local talent, highlighting the exceptional voices from here. Headlining is Francis Poulenc's tragic masterpiece, Dialogues des Carmélites, featuring Hélène Guilmette, Frédéric Antoun, Julie Boulianne, Florie Valiquette, and Guylaine Girard, among others. A flagship production imbued with courage and kindness, which will intimately resonate with the history and rich heritage of Quebec's female religious communities. Between memory, heritage, and transmission, this 15th edition offers a unique journey through 5 centuries of music: from the origins of lyric art with Monteverdi to contemporary creations by Laurence Jobidon (L’hiver attend beaucoup de moi) and Jean-François Mailloux (Fables lyriques pour petits et grands enfants), the perfect family event, not to mention a vibrant tribute to the legacy of Lionel Daunais. From the Grand Théâtre de Québec to associated venues, including a free urban component deployed in all boroughs, the celebration takes over the city. Whether you are a great opera lover or curious to discover it, join us for an experience that is both grand and profoundly intimate. The Festival d'opéra de Québec: so grand, so human.
