Enjoy opera music outside, in unusual and enchanting places, combined to a variety of outdoor activities: this is what the Festival d’opéra de Québec offers, free of charge and accessible to all.
This year, the Brigade Lyrique is revamped and is divided into Brigade Opéra and Brigade Opérette. The two brigades now offer all festival-goers the chance to experience the full range of complete art that opera is by presenting two works in one act with staging and costumes: Le Téléphone by Gian Carlo Menotti and Pomme d’Api by Jacques Offenbach.
The Brigade-like tank will once again take up residence in several parks in Quebec City, thanks to the invaluable collaboration of the Bureau des grands événements, de Première Ovation et de la Commission de la capitale nationale de Québec.
