Description
Stu&Jess Productions has made it their mission to present talented, young singers in unique, non-traditional venues. "L'Heure Espagnole" marks the third collaboration of Stuart Martin and Jessica Derventzis, the creative team behind Stu&Jess Productions, their first success having been with Gian Carlo Menotti's "The Medium" in the fall of 2013, which was presented in a re-envisioned church. Their production Ravel's comedic classic will be given a modern twist, housed in the upper floor warehouse of the Techno-Lith paper company in Montreal.Ravel's classic "L'Heure Espagnole" It is the clockmaker Torquemada's day to regulate the municipal clocks, and consequently, it is wife Concepción's day to entertain her lover. When Ramiro, a muleteer, visits the clockshop to have his watch repaired, Concepción worries that his presence will ruin her rendezvous with the poet Gonzalve. To distract Ramiro, Concepción asks him to carry out various tasks. Another suitor, Don Inigo, arrives, and a hilarious attempt to hide the lovers from each other and smuggle each of them to her bedroom without Ramiro noticing ensues. Finally, Concepción--weary of her suitors' antics--exits with the virile muleteer. Torquemada returns, delighted to see so many eager customers with his wife. This opera is performed in French with English subtitles and runs just under an hour. This production is made possible by a grant from "Dandy Andy Award for Performance Arts" from the Main & Station Nonesuch.

Mais la présence intempestive d'un financier amoureux et d'un muletier têtu compromet son rendez-vous hebdomadaire.
