Shows/Theater: Cirque du Soleil - Don't miss this!

  • Montreal is the home of the world famous circus group Cirque du Soleil. If you happen to be in town when they have a show (this year between 21st of April and 19th of June) I'm telling you it's worth it to pay for that super expensive ticket! I went to see the spectacle called Dralion and just couldn't believe the acrobatics they were doing! You can see they've really made an effort to make the show perfect with the costumes, the music and everything. This is real entertainment!

    A VT TRAVELOGUE ON SCREEN!! (On the fliers, they say :Adventure trough images) This is REALLY cool...basically..there are photographers and filmakers that go on a trip and come back with slides or a movie and show it. After the presentation, the filmaker stays with the public to make a few comments, talk about the place more and answer questions! :)

    This year's program: A Southa African Safari, Antartica, Italy, Austria, Viet-Nam, Brussels and the French west indies.

    The Spectrum is a very nice place to see a show. All places are good (when shows offer seats) and because of the proximity of the scene, it makes for great concert experiences. Locals such as Jean Leloup and Daniel Bélanger come here fairly often. I also saw Bela Fleck and a few others. This is my favorite concert venue. (Arrive early as the seats are not assigned, so people LITTERALY run into the place when doors open..they really look silly and there is a bit of pushing and shoving..but hey!

    I saw the Cirque du Soleil perform "Alegria" 10 years ago, before anyone had ever heard of it, or they were doing much performing outside of it's hometown in Montreal. I can tell you that as a performer myself, seeing the Cirque du Soleil changed my life and the way I view performance. It is an experience that is really hard to explain-- it transcends the boundries of language and culture and touches your soul. If you don't know what Cirque du Soleil is... literally it means circus of the sun. But trust me when I say it is not like any circus you've ever imagined. It is an artfully put together program that weaves together a story through music, costume, acrobatics, dance, humor and contortionism. There's no elephants or popcorn, it's just not that kind of circus. It's simply amazing.

    I saw "Alegria" performed again in Philadelphia about 10 years after I had first seen it. It was just as fantastic as I remembered. The past few times I have seen Cirque, we splurged and bought Tapis Rouge (Red Carpet) tickets. They are quite expensive, but absolutely worth it. In addition to premium seating, parking, a free brochure, a CD, appetizers, dessert, wine, beer, champagne and access to the Tapis Rouge tent are all included. This makes for an excellent value when you factor in all you get.

    This is one of Canadas MOST historical Buildings of all time. It is the site of the Old Forum. The home of the Montreal Canadians Ice Hockey team from 1924-1996.
    It was turned into a 22-screen movie megaplex movie Complex, but the shrine still exists, with Center Ice set up inside, with some actual seats surrounding it. It is something to see! (Click on the Picture to See a Large Version)

  • I'm guessing most of you know what the IMAX theater is. The region of Montréal has three of them.
