About
Selected from the Receuil de romances avec accompagnement de guitare, most of these pieces are arrangements of popular tunes from the comic operas that were all the rage in Paris in Berlioz’s time.
The young Québécoise soprano Magali Simard-Galdès has been acclaimed for her crystalline timbre, great musicality, and magnetic stage personality. Recent debuts include the role of Sophie in Werther for Opéra de Québec, and Louisette in Bonsoir voisin by Ferdinand Poise at Opera Lafayette. She also returned to the Opéra de Montréal to sing Frasquita in Carmen and gave a recital at the Société d’art vocal de Montréal.
Montreal native Antonio Figueroa began his career by joining the Opéra de Montréal’s Atelier lyrique artist-in-residence program, He has won several awards, including the International Vocal Arts Institute’s Silverman Prize for his performance as Belmonte. His acclaimed debut in the role of Nadir (Les Pêcheurs de perles) at the Opéra d’Avignon led to prestigious invitations from the Opéra Comique, the Philharmonie de Paris, the Capitole de Toulouse, and the Theater an der Wien. Figueroa’s career has taken off across Canada too, thanks to performances with Pacific Opera and with the opera companies of Québec City, Montreal, and Ottawa.
Guitarist and lutenist David Jacques has a PhD in early music performance from the Université de Montréal. He studied classical guitar at the Cégep de Sainte-Foy, Université Laval, and the Conservatoire de musique de Québec. His discography consists of 50-plus recordings on the XXI-21, ATMA, Oz, and Analekta labels, several of which have been nominated for ADISQ, JUNO, Opus, and ÉCHO Classik prizes. Jacques has been awarded Opus Prizes for three of his discs: Pièces de guitarre de Mr Rémy Médard (2008), Tango Boréal (2012), and Pampa Blues (2014).
