L'HIVER ATTEND BEAUCOUP DE MOI

ABOUT

L’hiver attend beaucoup de moi explores life in the magnificent yet unforgiving landscapes of northern Québec. Pregnant and seeking refuge as a storm closes in, Léa sets out to reach safety, guided by the enigmatic Madeleine. This powerful opera speaks to the strength and solidarity of women in the face of unspeakable grief and tragedy.

“L’hiver attend beaucoup de moi is exactly what opera needs. It’s bold, contemporary, poetic, political, feminist, theatrical, well-executed, and not afraid of traditionalists.” – Montreal Theatre Hub
