Before the concert
When you take your seat in the concert hall, you will notice that certain OSQ musicians are already on stage. They are "warming up" by practicing on their own. A few minutes before the concert, once all musicians have taken their places on stage, a musician holding a violin walks on stage and everything becomes quiet: he is the violin soloist. When he reaches his place, he remains standing, turns to the oboist and signals him to play note A so that the musicians can tune their instruments. In the event a pianist is the orchestra's soloist, the violin soloist will play A on the piano himself rather than ask the oboist. At the OSQ, the wind instruments tune up first, followed by the strings.
Once all musicians have tuned their instruments, the conductor will make his entrance on stage.
Concert etiquette
Remain, calm, attentive and respectful
Both the artists on stage and the audience are sensitive to what they see, feel and hear. The artists on stage draw their energy from the interaction that is developed between them and the public: for the magic of the concert to work, the audience must be attentive, calm and respectful.
When to applaud
- When the conductor bows to the audience at the beginning of the concert.
- You will know the piece is finished when the conductor turns to face the public. Never applaud at the end of a movement.
- At the end of the concert.
How to dress?
There is no longer a dress code. It is important that you wear something suitable and comfortable, which allows you to enjoy your evening to the fullest.
You are late. What should you do?
Unless otherwise indicated, OSQ concerts start at 8 PM. If you show up after the concert begins, the Grand Théâtre ushers have instructions to not let you enter the hall until the end of the piece or at the intermission, depending on the program for the evening. It is therefore important to be punctual.
