What to do and see in Ville-Marie, Canada: The Best Concerts & Shows

July 13, 2021 Margarita Chappel

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.

L'Orchestre Symphonique de Montreal (OSM)

Reviewed By Nomad796818 - Montreal, Canada

Guarantee of great sound, I am not an audiophile but it does not matter where you sit for a great sound experience. The place was built for sound. Choose wisely for seats since if you are seeing a large concert maybe choose a little higher. Lower loges are no better than central and I prefer to see the entire show. Red Army Choir is my next. Pre pay parking and pre reserve dinner at local places makes things simple.

Centaur Theatre

Quality English-language theater productions are regularly scheduled at this theater, located in the Old Stock Exchange building.

Reviewed By Frank-in-SF - San Francisco, United States

I have attended a few shows at the Centaur over the years and enjoyed all of them. The latest, "Little Dickens" was amazing. Ronnie Berkett's Christmas marionette theater piece was creative and very, very funny. It must have been physically exhausting for Berkett, who handled and all the marionettes and voiced their characters. Much was improvised, especially the parts where audience members were brought up to take on various roles. It was obvious that the audience loved it. I certainly appreciate the opportunity to attend excellent English-language theater in Montreal.

Upstairs Jazz Club

Reviewed By 448bobc - Albany, United States

My wife and I had a great dinner and jazz performance by the Fuel Junkies. The food was excellent and plentiful. The music was extraordinary coming from three great sax musicians. Equally entertaining and great musicians were the two guitar players and drummer. I was able to get the last table when I made my reservation for the early show. The table was right in front of the band. The place was packed which is understandable as it is a great venue with excellent jazz performances and reasonably priced food.
