Rossini's
La Cenerentola
(Cinderella)

For her first production at the Opéra de Québec, Véronika Makdissi-Warren brings to life her passion for clowning and unleashes her talent for youth productions with a transposition of Rossini’s La Cenerentola into the bubbling world of fashion. Here, it’s no longer a prince looking for his princess, but rather a haute couture designer in search of his new muse. It’s a proposition that will appeal to young fashionistas as well as fans of marvelous tales of all ages.

Premiered in Rome on January 25, 1817

Last performance at the Opéra de Québec on November 2, 1996

Puccini's
La bohème

La bohème is one of opera’s most beautiful love stories. A flame that burns brightly, only to be extinguished too soon… This production marks Clemens Schuldt’s debut at the Opéra de Québec. The conductor’s complicity with his orchestra brings a unique energy to the production, which offers its fabulous cast the ideal musical setting in which to shine. And we can count on Jacques Leblanc’s talent as stage director to move us with this magnificent poetry of everyday life!

Premiered in Turin on February 1, 1896
