Additional Information
Created in 2003 before making its Broadway debut in 2005, The Light at the Piazza is one of those works that mixes the codes of popular Broadway performances with the lyrical musical lines of operatic language. Winner of six Tony Awards, including Best Original Score, the composer’s sophisticated score is both a rewarding project for Opera McGill’s young opera artists, and an interpretative and technical challenge. A few hours before the opening night of this performance at the Monument national, which runs from January 31 to February 2, Alexandre Villemaire spoke for PAN M 360 with conductor Jonathan Monro, who will be at the podium for all three performances, to talk about the work and its particular aesthetic.
