FROM PIANO TO PODIUM: MOZART AND BRAHMS WITH YANNICK NÉZET-SÉGUIN

by Rédaction PAN M 360

Experience the concert hall right at home! Alongside renowned artists, the Orchestre Métropolitain and conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin offer you magnificent concert webcasts (on demand), captured with state-of-the-art sound and video quality at the Maison symphonique de Montréal. Enjoy an enriched digital experience thanks to our complementary content: online concert programs and virtual preludes. Have a good time!

Yannick Nézet-Séguin will bring Mozart’s lyrical and bright Piano Concerto No. 12 to life in a rare appearance as both conductor and soloist with the OM. The concerto will be followed by Brahms’s third symphony—a sweet, melodic continuation of the OM’s Brahms symphony cycle.

The free-spirited but joyful symphony opens strong with three chords, setting the tone for a compact and unified piece. Mozart himself bragged that he composed the perfect piano concerto, a piece that could be enjoyed both by connoisseurs and the greater public. To start things off, Castro D’Addona’s Diversity gives Latin dance rhythms a classical touch.

Carnet de voyage – A Portrait of Simon Bertrand

by Rédaction PAN M 360

Works by Bertrand and Dorion.

Enter the cosmopolitan universe of Simon Bertrand! Discovering the world shaped the music of this composer-adventurer, inspired by oriental and contemporary music, but also by pop (Björk, Radiohead) and jazz, presented in a single breath in a ritual conducive to one form encountering the “other”. Additional art forms (cinema, painting, poetry) are also invited to the party thanks to clever scenography, drawing an eclectic musical portrait of one of our most prolific composers.

Program:
Une prière pour Zipangu (2011)
Salutation au soleil (2016, 22)
Variations perpétuelles (2018)

Classical / Opera

Carmen… in Your Living Room!

by Rédaction PAN M 360

Opéra de Montréal presents a webcast of one of its most important recent productions, Bizet’s Carmen. Presented in 2019 at Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier, this great classic of the repertoire is the result of a collaboration with Quebec filmmaker Charles Binamé, who directed it. This new version of Carmen, directed by Pierre and François Lamoureux, features the Orchestre Métropolitain, the Opéra de Montréal chorus and the Petits chanteurs du Mont-Royal. In an all-Canadian cast, mezzo-soprano Krista de Silva lends her voice to the famous gypsy, tenor Antoine Bélanger assumes the role of the brigadier Don José, baritone Christopher Dunham plays the bullfighter Escamillo, and soprano France Bellemare sings the role of Micaëla.
