Joseph Rouleau: Final Encore

FINAL ENCORE is an immersive animated biopic based on the archives of opera singer Joseph Rouleau. President of the Mouvement d'action pour l'art lyrique du Québec, driving force behind the creation of the Opéra de Montréal and co-founder of the Concours musical international de Montréal, which celebrates young singers, violinists and pianists, Joseph Rouleau's contribution to Montreal's musical heritage is incomparable. Director Émilie Rosas set out to dust off the world of opera and reveal Joseph Rouleau, a great pioneer of Quebec opera. The installation tells his story, revisiting his personal archives, memoirs and greatest solos. The MEM is delighted to host this innovative project that pays tribute to one of the great pioneering artists who shaped Quebec music. The original immersive documentary technology will appeal to both older and younger audiences.
