Kent Nagano and the OSM present a big free outdoor concert

*The concert will take place whatever the weather. Only thunderstorms may oblige us to interrupt the concert.

The only free outdoor concert by the Montreal Symphony Orchestra and its Music Director, Kent Nagano. It’s the perfect opportunity to enjoy a free performance by this renowned Montreal institution in a larger than life setting.

Bizet’s Carmen is without a doubt the most popular opera of all time. Who hasn’t hummed the Habanera or the toreador song? Relive the greatest moments of this timeless love story and sway to the seductive melodies performed by an impressive cast of artists.

As a prelude to the opera, an intimate program will be presented to mark the 70th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima.
