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-F\u00e9lix Mailloux with the Cord\u00e2me 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&#8217;s career. Here is Jean-F\u00e9lix Mailloux (for the other artists, follow the links below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mbam.qc.ca\/fr\/activites\/gala-des-prix-opus-1-1\/\"><strong>DETAILS AND TICKETS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/conseilquebecoisdelamusique\"><strong>LINK FOR WEBCAST (FEBRUARY 8, 3 PM)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/HK-ygpUz4-g\"><strong>INTERVIEW WITH SOPRANO ELISABETH ST-GELAIS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/kwJ0bF5JIa4\"><strong>INTERVIEW WITH THE VIOLINIST MARIE NADEAU-TREMBLAY<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/XZYUZlXBCMU\"><strong>INTERVIEW WITH THE PIANIST GENTIANE MG<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/panm360.com\/en\/interviews-panm360\/gala-prix-opus-2026-entrevue-interview-dominic-trudel-musique-classique-awards-ceremonie\/\"><strong>DISCOVER MORE ABOUT THE OPUS AWARDS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/c_rxJAfQW5A\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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.
