An Evening of Vienese Operetta: 200 Years of J. Strauss II

Let yourself be transported to the elegance and splendour of imperial Vienna as the Orchestre classique de Montréal (OCM) raises a toast to the “Waltz King,” Johann Strauss II, on the 200th anniversary of his birth. Presented in collaboration with the Opéra de Montréal’s Atelier lyrique and the Austrian Society of Montreal, the program offers a tantalizing assortment of excerpts from popular Viennese operettas. A quartet of talented young singers brings this sprightly and elegant repertoire to life under the baton of Simon Rivard, as the OCM celebrates the golden age of Viennese operetta and waltz music.
