Opéra de Montréal

Founded in 1980, Opéra de Montréal is one of North America's 15 largest opera companies and the continent's premier Francophone opera house, presenting an ambitious repertoire spanning from baroque and opéra-comique to contemporary works. Housed in the Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier—a modernist masterpiece designed by Affleck, Desbarats, Dimakopoulos, Lebensold, Michaud et Sise and inaugurated in 1963—the company has established itself as a beacon of artistic innovation and accessibility. Following a comprehensive 2015 renovation that restored the hall's iconic red interior and enhanced its world-class acoustics, Opéra de Montréal continues to blend tradition with audacity, showcasing the full spectrum of operatic art.
