Anything you want, any day of the year, is pretty much how the cultural scene works in Montréal. Now we’re not talking “fast food” here, but the five-star energy and creativity inherent in Montréal’s cosmopolitan character that extends from home venues out onto the world stage.
Recognized the world over as a hotbed of artistic ingenuity, Montréal excels at producing explosive and diverse cultural experiences. From full-scale performance halls to black-box studios to hole-in-the-wall clubs to outdoor venues, Montréal’s cultural innovation is out there and accessible to all.
If Montréal had a cultural menu, it might look like this…
Entrée
- Choice of Old Port street performer, downtown museum or art exhibit
Plat Principal, consisting of
- Artistically elegant classics such as the symphony, ballet or opera
or
- Provocative experimental theatre, contemporary dance or indie rock
Served with a side of cinema, of course
Dessert
- Indulgent jazz, world music or funk in the flavour and club of your choice
Spécial du Jour
- A tantalizing tasting menu of circus arts du terroir featuring Cirque du Soleil, Cirque Éloize and TOHU
The Al Fresco menu includes seasonal favourites such as the summertime International Jazz Festival, Just for Laughs, Francofolies and the Festival des films du monde, while winter blues are chased away by the MONTRÉAL HIGH LIGHTS Festival.
Bon appétit et bon spectacle!
