Founded in 2013 by a group of friends, BOP has presented to date nine productions including Le Vin herbé, an unruly pop-opera featuring more than seventy artists, with choreography by Dave St-Pierre, staging direction by Philippe Boutin, and costume design by Denis Gagnon; the fiscal-baroque opera Nero and The Fall of Lehman Brothers, played in the basement of a Villeray neighbourhood church; the ritualistic and mystical Le Vaisseau-cœur, Arte Musica’s 2019–2020 season-opening even and the original musical Please Thrill Me, written by Sean Nicholas Savage.
BOP is the winner of the Prix de la relève Caisse Desjardins de la Culture (2019) and of the “Découverte de l’année” Opus Prize (2016).
