Welcome the New Year with “Salute to Vienna”, patterned after Vienna’s world famous “Neujahrskonzert”, returning to Place des Arts for a glorious 15th season. This simultaneously produced series has inspired diehard romantics all over North America-this year in 20 cities. Always a festive sold-out event, it is performed live by a brilliant cast of over 75 musicians, stellar singers featuring for the first time renowned Québec soprano Marie-Josée Lord and dancers in beautiful costumes. A wonderful way to celebrate the joy and hope the New Year brings! Favourite Strauss waltzes, polkas and famous Operetta excerpts – a light hearted New Year’s tradition the whole family can enjoy.
