Handel’s Messiah
Haskell Opera House, 1 Church Street
Since its premiere in 1742, Handel’s Messiah has become an essential work of the holiday season, performed every year around the world.

The final “Hallelujah”, a true moment of collective communion, continues to move audiences, reminding us of the universal power of this masterpiece that stands at the crossroads of the sacred and the celebratory.
For this anniversary season, we are honored to launch the ensemble’s most ambitious tour ever — featuring no fewer than eight performances!

Théâtre Alphonse-Desjardins, 25 Allée de la Création
In 1838, to escape the gossip of society, the unlikely couple, formed by the author George Sand and the pianist and composer Frédéric Chopin, found refuge on the island of Majorca where the lovers thought they could devote themselves to their art: she with her pen, him with his piano. Unfortunately, the instrument commissioned by Chopin is slow to join them. In the driving rain, as the dream vacation falls by the wayside, their relationship is put to the test. A musical tale by Denis Plante, Les Lettres de Chopin gives voice to George Sand who reveals with humour and tenderness the secrets of his moving relationship with this young genius, Frédéric Chopin, all accompanied by music from the most beautiful pages of the famous pianist.
