Built in 1925, l'Olympia de Montréal immediately found itself to be one of Montreal's most precious cultural and architectural treasures. For many years, its main vocation was that of ‘cinematic theatre' and the remnants of those days still lend an unmistakable quality to the hall. There is a strong sense of past that mingles with the unmatched joyous ambiance of today.
Its privileged location (near Berri-UQAM metro) helps in making it one of the city's most easily accessible theatres.
The walls seem to echo with the voices of the great Québécois and international performers, from Gilles Vigneault to Tori Amos and all of those who have passed in between, such as Daniel Bélanger, Claude Léveillé, Georges Brassens, Loreena McKennit and Les Ritas Mitsouko. On top of being a shrine to music, L'Olympia de Montréal also helped broaden cultural horizons by welcoming the most prestigious crowd of Québec's comics (Louis-José Houde, Daniel Lemire, Lise Dion, Clémence Desrochers, Jean-Michel Anctil and many others). There are also many important theatrical endeavours that graced its stage, such as Broue, Québec's champion play of comic theatre, which has ran for over seventeen years.
It is also the perfect place for all sorts of corporate events as well as business reunions, broadcasts, conferences and benefits events.
Recently taken by a new administration concerned about maintaining this unique outstanding acoustics, L'Olympia de Montréal offers its diverse array of services and tailors them to suit your events.
