Bach’s genius is on full display in this monumental masterpiece, composed of six cantatas that recount the story of the Nativity. Its powerful arias rise like majestic columns, its intricate vocalizations act as finely sculpted ornaments, and its clarity illuminates the stained glass and brings the colours to life.

This veritable cathedral of sound reaches its fullest expression when performed in a setting as breathtaking as Montréal’s Notre-Dame Basilica, under the baton of visionary architect Yannick Nézet-Séguin.

Come celebrate Christmas Eve at the Basilica on December 24, 2024. There will be 3 masses: 7 p.m., 9:30 p.m. and midnight. The 7 p.m. mass is a family mass, so all are welcome. To come to the 9:30 p.m. and midnight masses, make sure you get your tickets online, as places are limited.

Under the direction of Valérie Dallaire, an impressionist concert, piano and soprano works by Debussy will bring warmth to the fall season. All proceeds go to the Restoration Program of the Notre-Dame Basilica Foundation of Montreal.
