Additional Information
The hard work of the classical singing interns at the Canadian Vocal Arts Institute (CVAI) over the past four weeks will culminate on Sunday afternoon, July 27, at the Claude-Champagne Hall. The twelve singers of this 21st edition of the Montreal Vocal Arts Festival will present Mozart’s The Magic Flute, staged by Nathalie Deschamps. The Salzburg composer’s final opera, a classic among the classics of the repertoire, this work, or Masonic symbolism and eternal struggle of shadow against light, blends with the vocal and instrumental complexity of Mozart’s music in an energetic tableau, formative for both the young opera artists and the young musicians of the Orchestre de la Francophie, the orchestra that will accompany this production. Following this final concert, Alexandre Villemaire spoke with conductor Christopher Gaudreault, who will be on the podium to lead this ensemble of musicians.
