An evening with lyrical and tasty accents
The Opera Evenings are part of the great tradition of cultural events in Quebec City, a city known for its love of music and gastronomy. Unlike the common practice of restaurants, which generally play a pre-recorded soundtrack in the background, La Scala offers its customers a unique experience with not only the presence of two pianists, but also the harmonious and impressive voices of four singers, to which is added the remarkable presence of a violinist. The intimate atmosphere and the elegance of the restaurant's decor are ideal for this type of lyrical event. In a cozy atmosphere, these artists will perform timeless classics of opera and instrumental music. Those who have had the pleasure of participating in one of these evenings are often charmed and return with enthusiasm, having unearthed one of Quebec's hidden treasures!
The taste of Italy sublimated by the emotion of music
For $79,95 per person (plus tax and tip), a seven-course menu accompanies the excellent artistic performances. Seating is limited and reservations are by phone only. Owner Marc-Antoine Munoz, known for his warm and generous welcome, has made La Scala a destination of choice for music and cuisine lovers. In addition to public Opera Evenings, it is possible to organize tailor-made private events, perfect for special occasions such as birthdays or family celebrations.
