Théâtre Maisonneuve
September 25th and 26th, 2021
Riders to the Sea
Music : Ralph Vaughan Williams | Libretto : John Millington Synge
Le Flambeau de la nuit
Music : Hubert Tanguay-Labrosse | Libretto : Olivier Kemeid
BOP and I Musici de Montréal chamber orchestra are joining forces with the Opéra de Montréal for a double bill in which the sea has a starring role. The sea that feeds us… but that also robs us of life. Mirroring the opera Riders to the Sea, the new work Le Flambeau de la nuit echoes the same themes, weaving together a unified dramatic structure that looks both to the present and back to the past.
