A word from Artistic Director Marie-Annick Béliveau
It is a real pleasure for me to take on the artistic direction of Chants Libres with the event Oper’actuel Works in Progress. This rendezvous has everything in it to make me happy. This is where I discover new works in creation, we are given the opportunity to lift up a corner of the curtain and to see composers and librettists at work; I get to hear
new voices, singers who are playing the game of creation, who succeed with a few pages of a score to transport us to another universe. We take risks, we try, we imagine.
Creating an opera is a grand undertaking, and in creating Oper’actuel, Pauline realized that it was important to give the creators, the singers and the public the chance to realize their first sketches, their first drafts, to hear a first aria, to see a character come to life.
This 7th edition of Oper’actuel Works in Progress will be carried out by Ensemble Paramirabo with musical direction by Jean-Michaël Lavoie. It’s incredible that such experienced and inspired musicians will join us, that the composers and singers can benefit from this collaboration.
I am really looking forward to us being all together, the big Chants Libres family, the public, composers, the curious, artists, researchers, beautiful voices and poets, from here and from elsewhere.
