    Montreal style-mavens know Sabrina Barilà for her edgy women’s collection Barilà, which she produces alongside her sister Claudia. Last Saturday’s opening night of Jules Massenet’s opera Werther marked a first for l’Opéra de Montréal for inviting a Quebecoise fashion designer to outfit the cast. For Barilà, it was also the first time she created clothes for the stage instead of the runway. I caught up with the local créatrice just before the Werther premiere to chat about her operatic debut.
