In the film noir style of the 1950s, Hockey Noir, the Opera mischievously portrays the imaginary goings-on behind-the-scenes of old-time hockey. Star players, dubious bets, femmes fatales and zealous detectives crisscross each other and dance the waltz of improbable playoffs ... a brilliant way to end the season, aimed as much at music lovers as fans of our national sport!
