Montréal’s principal English-language theatrical venue was founded in 1969. Housed in the Old Stock Exchange Building, it has two stages and is fast becoming known for its world-class productions. The program varies between Broadway musicals, contemporary Canadian drama, as well as works by international playwrights, past and present.

Competing with Le Dag across the street is another wild, three-tiered entertainment tower. Chez Charlotte’s lounge is on the top floor, with the dance club Chez Maurice and smoking club Société Cigares below.

Conceived by Canadian architect and urban theorist Victor Prus, this inventive space uses a stacked concert hall grid to maximize on space limitations. The theater opened in 1971 and features a spectacular mural by Québec artist Jordi Bonet, which leads to the Salle Louis-Fréchette and Octave-Crémazie concert halls. Théâtre Trident, Opéra de Québec and the Club musical de Québec are based here, as well as concerts by the Orchestre symphonique de Québec. Pop concerts by international artists are also staged here sometimes.
