Symphonic adaptation and arrangements: Simon Leclerc
Legendary musical Notre-Dame de Paris, created by Luc Plamondon and Riccardo Cocciante, is reborn in a symphonic operatic version as a world premiere. This unprecedented event by the Nouvel Opéra Métropolitain brings together musicians from l'Orchestre classique de Montréal and seven outstanding soloists, including Rose Naggar-Tremblay (Esmeralda) and Gino Quilico (Frollo). Twenty-five iconic hits from the most famous French-language musical will resonate beneath the arches of the grand Cocathédrale Saint-Antoine-de-Padoue in Longueuil. From “popular opera” to “opera proper”: a symphonic metamorphosis crafted by Simon Leclerc, a master of the genre and conductor of this unique concert. Presented for the time at Festival Classica, this creation will delight fans of musical theatre, classical music, and bold new artistic experiences.
