Montréal, March 28 2024 – Since 2018, Montreal opera creation company Musique 3 Femmes has been creating, developing and producing new operas by female composers and librettists. After nearly 6 years of existence, the company has now created 12 new chamber operas. Support for this was provided by the Mécénat Musica Prix 3 Femmes and various arts councils and foundations.

Pandemic arts council funding afforded us the opportunity to transform four of these operas into films. Created by Iranian-Canadian duo Parisa Sabet and Nika Khanjani, the exquisite opera film Vanishing Point was recently premiered at the International Festival for Films on Art.

Our four films and the opera captation L’écoute du perdu, by Juno award-winning composer Keiko Devaux, will all be screened this coming Tuesday at Montreal’s Cinema moderne in Musique 3 Femmes’ Digital Opera Now Festival. The festival begins with a reprise of Vanishing Point at 5:30pm and continues until 10:30pm.
