performances for the current season will be held from Wednesday, November 1
to Friday, November 3, 2006, from 4 p.m.
to 4:30 p.m.
For the first event
of the series, the voices of the Atelier lyrique’s opera singers will
resonate throughout three STM métro stations for 30 minutes, as they perform
Verdi’s most beautiful melodies and musical compositions.

Place-des-Arts metro station
Thursday, November 2, at 4 p.m.:
Atwater metro station

This event is part
of Op�ra de Montréal’s production of La Traviata by Verdi, which will be
presented at Place des Arts’ Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier, November

enthusiastic public response and hopes that many will attend these very
special musical events, made possible in collaboration with Op�ra de
Montréal.
