Marie-Josée LORD

BOUILLON

September 24 at 8:00 PM

Pre-reception at 7:00 pm

‘Bouillon’? A surprising title indeed but to surprise the audience is what this concert is all about. With her own personal style, her voice, her presence and her choice of repertoire, soprano Marie-Josée Lord delivers a gourmet recital where classical and popular music are gently entwined. Luc Plamondon, Verdi, Lama, Bizet, Ferland and many other composers make up this special program that flows ever so naturally. The occasional comments will spice things up. The result is so flavourful that you will be asking for seconds!

Haitian-born Montreal soprano Marie-Josée Lord studied in Italy, took master classes with Edouardo Müller, made her professional debut at the Vancouver Opera as High Priestess Aida in 2002, and wowed audiences as Mimi in L'Opéra de Montréal's 2004 production of La Bohème. Then Lord's career really took off when she sang with Italian tenor Salvatore Licitra, widely hailed as the heir to Luciano Pavarotti, and starred in the symphonic version of Luc Plamondon's rock opera Starmania with the Montreal Symphonic Orchestra in Montreal and Paris in 2005, the same year she was among the privileged few to compete in the BBC Cardiff Singer of the World 2005 competition. It was there at Cardiff that the world also noticed Lord as also a world-class beauty.
