SALLE DE SPECTACLES RÉGIONALE DESJARDINS DE NEW RICHMOND Wednesday, October 14, 2026, 8 pm No JMC tickets — please purchase your tickets here. Behind the scenes at the Monument-National in Montreal, Lionel Daunais and Charles Goulet, the founding directors of the ‘’Variétés Lyriques’’, are deep in discussion about their upcoming season. Should they present the beloved, classic operettas of Offenbach? Or would it be better to program more recent works by Romberg or Yvain? And how can they best showcase their two star singers—Olivette Thibault, the lead comedienne, and Caro Lamoureux, the principal lyric soprano—who are both demanding roles worthy of their talents!? Between a playful chorus or a passionate serenade, a wild Charleston or a feverish waltz, a colorful parade of characters takes the stage, and a rich repertoire unfolds—spanning a century and crossing multiple countries! In this original production blending historical figures and locations with a fictional storyline, Jeunesses Musicales Canada offers a sparkling evening of lyrical delight!
