Proud of last year’s success, the Festival continues to offer free outdoor performances with the same formulas.
Both Brigades take over the parks of Quebec City’s boroughs with their charming castelet. What could be better than to find yourself in a park to enjoy short one-act plays with staging and costumes that deal with love in a light-hearted and humorous way?
The Circuit Opéra takes the public on a thematic tour, with opera artists and instrumentalists at each station.
