Donizetti’s Lucie de Lammermoor

Created on August 6, 1839 at the Théâtre de la Renaissance, Lucie de Lammermoor is the French version of Lucia di Lammermoor adapted by Donizetti himself. With this production, the Opéra de Québec transports you to the romantic Scotland of Sir Walter Scott, into the heart of a melodrama that has become French, but with a music that remains fabulously Italian. In this version where Lucie is the only female character, romanticism gives way to the frenzy and madness of her heroine, who does not fail to bewitch you!

Original French version with French surtitles.

Strauss's The Bat

BING! BANG! POW!

Joins prince Orlofsky’s ball discover the surprises, the nods to the sixties and Batman that this original and flamboyant production reserves you.

Premiered on April 5, 1874 at the Theater an der Wien, The Bat is arguably Vienna’s most popular operetta, often considered Strauss’ masterpiece. It satirically presents the bourgeois customs of the Belle Époque through a dance-like, refined and sparkling music, thanks to a whirlwind of waltzes, polkas or csárdás. The all-Quebec cast will take you through a crazy night of quiproquos, intrigues and revenge with all the frivolity, vivacity and subtlety necessary to charm you.

French version with French surtitles.
