Serge Denoncourt’s theatrical work is exceptional. Director, writer, producer, artistic
director and co-founder of the Théâtre de l’Opsis, he is as comfortable with the
great classics as he is with works from Quebec, with operas as with variety shows.
His contribution to the vitality of the performing arts is well known in Canada and
elsewhere. He directed a musical comedy on a volunteer basis with Roma youth in
Serbia that was presented around the world; his artistic mentorship gave a sense of
purpose and a voice to this group of young people.
