The Agora Orchestra and the Atelier lyrique of the Opéra de Montréal invite audiences to an extraordinary experience of Mozart's Requiem in the immersive atmosphere of the Richmond 1861 Salon, a former church in Little Burgundy. Far from a traditional concert, this performance transforms listening into a sensory journey. Staged by Thomas Lussier, the Requiem unfolds around and among the audience, carried by the voices of the Choir of St. Andrew and St. Paul Church and soloists Grace Buddolski, Ellita Gagner, Jeremy Scinocca, and Colin Mackey. Under the direction of Nicolas Ellis, this production offers a striking encounter with a timeless work.

Mozart's Requiem

Richmond Salon 1861

The first play of a comic trilogy (Beaumarchais) that shocked the 18th-century elite is the basis of Rossini’s masterpiece The Barber of Seville.

Teeming with action and bursting with unforgettable melodies, this opera is sure to make you break out into laughter. In the whimsical approach of stage director Joan Font and the Spanish troupe Els Comediants, this production cleverly incorporates some circus arts, acrobatics, and pantomime. For the occasion, the Orchestre Métropolitain will reunite with Spanish conductor Pedro Halffter who conducted the OM in Madama Butterfly in 2023.
