Thomas Lussier

Since his graduation from the Saint-Hyacinthe Theatre School, Thomas has been juggling with his love for both theater and opera. In June 2021, he wrote the texts and played the role of the Narrator in a concert version of Mozart's "La Clemenza di Tito », as part of the Festival Classica. He later produced and directed a workshop at the Fred-Barry Hall of the Denise-Pelletier Theatre based on the work "Herr Schuster kauft eine Straβe" by the German author Ulrike Syha, for which he also co-wrote the translation with Anissa Lahyane.

Among his recent theater projects, we find a staging with the Théâtre Université de Montréal ("Quand la Pluie S’arrêtera" by Australian Andrew Bovell), as well as a staging of Duncan MacMillan's play "Lungs," presented in an immersive setting, in which he also played a role.

On the operatic sphere, he staged Poulenc’s La Voix Humaine, produced by JM Canada and presented at the Festival d’Opéra de Québec. It was preceded by an original first part, Je Chante la Nuit, written by author Pascal Blanchet. The show starred soprano Elisabeth St-Gelais and baritone Olivier Bergeron.

We also saw him assist many well-known directors like Angela Konrad, Alain Gauthier, Joan Font, Nathalie Deschamps and Stephen Lawless on various Opéra de Montréal, Atelier Lyrique or JM Canada productions. (La Reine-Garçon, La Traviata, Hamlet, Le Barbier de Séville, Les Noces de Figaro, La Fille du Régiment)

In variety shows,  he directed the fundraising event "La Grande Première des Futures Étoiles" at Place des Arts three times (from 2022 to 2024) and took over the staging of the show "L’Amant Jaloux," a theatralized recital of baroque music.

On the radio, he has shared his love for the lyric art as a columnist on the show "En direct du MET," broadcasted on ICI Musique.

His upcoming projects include a brand new project around the history of Rome with the Atelier Lyrique of the Opéra de Montréal. We will also find him alongside Angela Konrad for the reprise of La Reine-Garçon with the Canadian Opera Company (COC).
