Performer: Thiago Arancam

Malgré d'indiscutables mérites, la production de Carmen à l'Opéra de Québec a été ternie par la maîtrise plus que discutable du français par les deux principaux chanteurs et par les problèmes vocaux de Thiago Arancam.

An all-Italian programme conducted by Enrique Mazzola encompasses the theatrical worlds of opera, film and ballet as well as purely musical tone-painting.

Puccini is one of opera’s best loved composers. With so many popular titles to his name, it is somewhat surprising how infrequently his first great success, Manon Lescaut, is performed today. What makes this even more unusual is the opera’s universal appeal.
