Lives and Passions, through its depth, beauty and modernity, presents a tragedy on the ascendancy of the passions and its effects on its victims. Composer André Cormier and librettist Louise G.-Brissette want to share the results of their eleven years of work by staging six excerpts from the complete opera, lasting about thirty minutes, which will be performed publically for the first time.”
