This production will explore the full emotional range of Bizet’s tempestuous masterpiece — its beauty, its intensity, its truth — alongside a cast of operatic luminaries, including Rihab Chaieb, Arturo Chacón-Cruz, Magali Simard-Galdès, and Ethan Vincent. 

A force of freedom and passion, Carmen’s charisma commands the attention of everyone in Seville. Don José is no exception. A loyal soldier, he surrenders his post, morals, and soul as he is ravaged by the flames of obsession. When Carmen’s attention turns to the daring bullfighter Escamillo, José’s jealousy takes a dark and fatal turn. Free in love and in death, our legendary heroine meets her fate as only Carmen can — fearlessly.

Carmen

Place des Arts

Coproduced with the Canadian Opera Company and Vancouver Opera, Werther features an exceptional cast, marking the grand return of Julie Boulianne to the Opéra de Montréal and the Montreal debut of the rising French tenor Julien Dran.

Werther

American composer Jonathan Dawe, known for his hybrid approach blending baroque and contemporary musical language, joins forces with stage director Stéphanie Jasmin, whose work bridges literary, theatrical, and visual expression. Together, they reimagine Lully and Quinault’s opera as a contemporary political drama, transposed to the United States in the 1980s.

Atys

Salle Ludger-Duvernay

Under the direction of François Racine, this staging revisits Victor Hugo’s Le Roi s’amuse with intensity, exposing a world where passion, authority, and moral corruption collide.
