Join us for an Opera Talk on November 27th and discover the world of a true dramatic soprano. Through this interactive talk, you'll meet Krista de Silva, Canadian opera singer who will explain the different types of voices, how the voice develops and changes, and the path to becoming an opera singer.

More than a talk, this is an immersive experience designed to sharpen the eye and lead you to the unknown backstage of a passionnating yet mysterious profession.

And because no French-inspired evening would be complete without it, we’ll end with wine, cheese, and charcuterie. 

Please note: this event will be presented in French and is for ADULTS only.

About Krista de Silva

Canadian soprano, Krista de Silva has established herself as a powerful dramatic soprano, recognized for her commanding stage presence and richly expressive voice.
