Additional Information
On February 8, 2026, at Bourgie Hall in Montreal, the 29th Opus Awards Gala will take place and will honour artists competing in 33 categories, covering classical music, jazz, world music, and traditional Quebecois music. For the past few years, the Gala has been innovating with a formula praised by artists and the public, in addition to offering former winners and nominees the opportunity to perform in front of an in-person audience and online (the ceremony is broadcast live). I spoke with the artists who will be performing, Gentiane MG, Marie Nadeau-Tremblay, Elisabeth St-Gelais and Jean-Félix Mailloux with the Cordâme ensemble. I asked them what it feels like to receive an Opus Award or to be nominated, and if it has an impact on an artist’s career. Here is Elisabeth St-Gelais (for the other artists, follow the links below).
