Marie-Josée LORD

BOUILLON

September 24 at 8:00 PM

Pre-reception at 7:00 pm

“Bouillon” is a gourmet recital
with the Haitian-born Montreal soprano Marie-Josée LORD

Bouillon, a surprising title indeed! Inspired by the culinary meaning of the word, 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. A charismatic presence, an amazing voice and a personal touch, combined in such a diverse repertoire makes this concert a unique experience!

Haitian-born Montreal soprano Marie-Josée Lord 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. She also performed at the ‘Canada Day 2010’ in the presence of Queen Elizabeth in Ottawa.

This event is presented by Le Lycée Français de Los Angeles, with the help of the Quebec Government Office in Los Angeles
