Gestev presents North America's greatest love story: Évangéline Let this epic and moving musical transport you to a captivating, timeless universe.
After captivating more than 60,000 audience members since its premiere, Évangéline continues to enjoy resounding success. Starring Maude Cyr-Deschênes, Olivier Dion, Matthieu Lévesque, Nathalie Simard, Océane Kitura Bohémier-Tootoo and Laurent Lucas, Évangéline is a sweeping historical musical infused with a modern sensibility—a cinematic take on an epic story rooted in Indigenous territory in Nova Scotia.
In 1755, the Acadians were expelled from their homes. Time has not fully healed the wounds. In this epic tale of legendary lovers, revolutionaries Évangéline and Gabriel are deported but their Acadian hearts still burn strong. To this day, heartrending memories of those times still linger, while the ties that bind the French and Mi'Kmaq nations live on. Évangéline and Gabriel can lead us along the path of hope and healing.
Playing in Ottawa, Québec City, Trois-Rivières, and Montréal, starting August 2027.
