ABOUT OPER’ACTUEL

Chants Libres, and its Artistic and General Director Pauline Vaillancourt, are proud to announce the fourth edition of Oper’Actuel 2013 Works In Progress. The previous editions (2008, 2004, 1998) gave 17 composers the opportunity to see and hear their works in progress, and gave 25 young singers the chance to gain experience in the development of new opera scores. With this event, our company is able to discover the work of young composers, librettists and singers, while developing their potential, and to give different musical groups an opportunity to get to know each other and exchange ideas. The event also opens the door to a younger audience stimulated by the presence of young performers, and records a DVD of the work for each selected composer.

In this way, we are developing a future audience base, attracted by their curiosity about new forms of opera, and by consequence, the future work of Chants Libres.
