An opera that scores one for Montreal! Hockey Noir takes you on a lighthearted, graphic musical adventure into the imaginary backroom goings-on of the hockey world. Projected illustrations, colourful expressions and vibrant sounds set the cadence for this story bathed in the smoky 1950’s atmosphere of the “film noir.” Our protagonists’ fates are played out on a scenic ice rink, where love, corruption and a passion for hockey become entangled. The perennial Montreal-Toronto rivalry is saluted and set to music in a modern, entertaining opera that has a special connection to this city. And as an added bonus, this will be your only chance to see your team in the playoffs this spring!
