Something wonderful happened this
winter in Montreal’s Théâtre du Nouveau Monde : a brand new
production of Nelligan. This version of an acclaimed opéra romantique by André Gagnon (music) and Michel Tremblay (libretto) directed by Normand
Chouinard has a subtitle: Le chant du poète naufragé (The Song of a shipwrecked
poet). After a triumphant run in Montreal the opera went on a tour of the province. I saw
the show in Drummondville’s Maison des arts Desjardins, having travelled 300
miles and crossed a country border for that. Here is why.

Notre-Dame de Paris, le spectacle musical (Paris, December 2016)
When I come to theater I am after some magic. What exactly do I mean by magic? Well, a well-made solid production (or any art work for that matter) usually fits the formula: 1+1=2, while the one with magic in it is more like 1+1=6¿#dh7. In the new production of Notre-Dame de Paris the musical (NDDP) I found exactly this kind of magic in Victor Hugo's story, Riccardo Cocciante's music, Hiba Tawaji's Esmeralda and Daniel Lavoie's Frollo.
