32nd Benefit Gala of the Jeunes Ambassadeurs Lyriques
THE 32nd BENEFIT GALA OF THE JEUNES AMBASSADEURS LYRIQUES: AN UNMISSABLE EVENING
Théâtre Lyrichorégra 20 is proud to present the 32nd Benefit Gala of the Jeunes Ambassadeurs Lyriques — a must-attend event for opera lovers and supporters of emerging artistic talent.
On October 24 at 2 p.m., at the Marie-Stéphane Hall of the École de musique Vincent-d’Indy (Montreal), 26 emerging opera singers from Canada, Belgium, China, France, Germany, Mexico, and South Korea will perform ensembles from some of the greatest masterpieces in the opera repertoire.
This unique gala will take place in the presence of directors of international opera houses and festivals, giving some of these young artists the chance to be discovered and offered real professional opportunities on a global scale.
The evening will conclude with an exclusive VIP reception, attended by the artists and invited directors — accessible only to VIP ticket holders.
By attending this event or making a donation, you are actively supporting the growth of both the Canadian and international opera scenes, and contributing to the mission of the Young Lyric Ambassadors: to provide meaningful career-launching opportunities for up-and-coming artists.
Regular, student, kids, and VIP tickets (including the reception and a tax receipt) are available now here: bit.ly/31eGalaJAL
