Opéra de Montréal: La Reine-garçon

  • Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier 175 Sainte-Catherine Ouest Montréal, QC, H2X 3X5 Canada (map)

After the great success of Les feluettes (2016) and La Beauté du monde (2022), Quebec playwright Michel Marc Bouchard is back with his libretto for La Reine-Garçon, an adaptation of his play, Christine, la reine-garçon. He is joined by composer Julien Bilodeau, with whom he has undeniably developed a privileged creative chemistry. Come and hear great Canadian voices, including those of Joyce El-Khoury and Etienne Dupuis, in a production staged by Angela Konrad (Yourcenar, une île de passions - 2022).

NO NEED FOR A CROWN WHEN YOU STAND TALL

Christine, Queen of Sweden, governs a nation barely recovering from the protracted Thirty Years' War. While great philosophical and scientific insights emerge throughout Europe, Queen Christine, raised as a boy by her father, seeks to better understand the darkness within her. Love, convictions, duty: where does one draw the line?
