The Nouvel Opéra Métropolitain throws open the doors of the Cocathédrale de Longueuil for a glorious evening that’s sure to captivate all audiences. Jazz aficionados, film buffs, and opera lovers alike are invited to rediscover the melodic genius of one of France’s most soulful jazz artists, Michel Legrand. Enduring songs from The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, The Young Girls of Rochefort, Yentl, and Donkey Skin take on new dimension in lush orchestral arrangements that highlight the interplay between lyric voices and jazz rhythms. Directed by Benjamin Levy, Music Director of the Cannes National Orchestra, the prestigious ensemble based in the city renowned for its iconic film festival, this exceptional collaboration unites the Orchestre du Festival Classica, three of the city’s finest operatic voices, and Montreal jazz luminaries Lorraine Desmarais (piano), Paul Brochu (drums), and Éric Lagacé (double bass). From the wistful atmosphere of the port of Cherbourg to the exuberance of the Young Girls, the NOM presents a bold reimagining of timeless melodies, infused with swing and heart. A spectacular jazz-opera experience you won’t forget!
