What to do and see in Montreal, Canada: The Best Performances
Montreal, c’est si bon! This French-speaking city is considered the cultural capital of Canada, and is a cosmopolitan celebration of Québécois style. A horse-drawn carriage ride around the cobblestone streets and grand buildings of Vieux-Montréal will give you a taste of European flavor. The Basilique Notre-Dame is a confection of stained glass, and the Plateau Mont-Royal district will delight you with its quaint boutiques and cafés. Dig in to a massive plate of poutine to fuel up for a tour of the epic Olympic Park.

We wandered around the Place des Arts for a bit, but we were here to attend a performance of George Benjamin’s opera Written on Skin. Having been to a performance of his Lessons in Love and Violence in Amsterdam in 2018, we were eager to see the opera that preceded it, and made a special trip from Toronto to take it in. The Salle Wilfred Pelletier is somewhat too large, seating almost 3000, but the sight lines are very good and we had good seats. The opera was clearly not to everyone’s taste, but we found it absorbing though occasionally confusing. The three principal performers, Magali Simard-Galdes, Daniel Okulitch and Luigi Schifano, were particularly fine. We’re glad we took the trouble to attend it, and we definitely want to see and hear it again.

We had an awesome time at L'Astral to see The White Buffalo. Sound was great. We arrived at door opening and got good seats in the balcony.

Theater based on humor and comedy. Based on his previous experiences, Jamin CHTOUKI, who already manages theaters in France for 20 years, created "La Comédie de Montréal". The scheduling is only composed with comedies, all year long, played in French by professional actors from Quebec. There is a bar to consume before or after the show, in a friendly atmosphere.
