The 2024 Gala de la Terre was an unforgettable evening, highlighted by a powerful new work by Claudie Bertounesque dedicated to the preservation of the St. Lawrence River belugas. Presented at the Maison symphonique de Montréal, this creation, blending music and environmental commitment, deeply moved the audience.
On June 12, the third edition of The Gala de la Terre was held at the Maison Symphonique. We are very proud to announce that Orchestre de l’Agora will generously donate $120,000 to its three beneficiary environmental organizations: GREMM, WWF-Canadaand Sierra Club Canada.
👑 A huge thank you to everyone who attended our performances of The Coronation of Poppea last weekend, under the direction of our conductor Nicolas Ellis. It was an absolutely memorable production! A thousand times bravo to the soloists, the musicians, and the entire creative and production team, as well as to our coproduction partners, the Opéra de Montréal. Read More
