Montréal – The Opéra de Montréal and The KARAOKE Channel are pleased to announce Opera Karaoke, a special activity giving the general public the opportunity to sing the most beautiful operatic arias karaokestyle.
This special event will take place during Montréal's Nuit Blanche starting at 11 p.m. on Saturday, February 27th and will continue until 3 a.m. on February 28th. The STM is graciously providing the "stage" for this special event, which will be held at the Place des Arts metro station in front of the Frederic Back artwork.
The Atelier lyrique singers will set the tone for this premiere exclusive event, singing a selection of operatic arias in the style of Verdi, Bizet, Puccini, Mozart, Saint-Saëns and Rossini from works such as Carmen, Aida, La bohème, Tosca and others. The same selection of songs will be available for anyone to sing, solo or with a group of friends. The KARAOKE Channel is proud to provide high quality karaoke instrumental music with lyrics that are displayed in time with the music on a television screen.
For anyone who has ever wanted to be an opera singer, this is the opportunity you've been waiting for.
A collaboration of Opéra de Montréal, STM, Place des Arts and The KARAOKE Channel.
