Sounds everyone loves
Beloved beats and melodies fill Place des Arts’ halls several nights a year, bringing joy to Pop music lovers. The genre’s top talents often choose one of our venues as a tour stop, using the facilities to set their songs in a distinctive frame. One of many artists to have put a unique spin on their catalogue by adapting it to the features of Place des Arts is Bryan Adams, who delighted fans with stripped-down acoustic takes on his megahits here in 2009, taking full advantage of Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier’s fine acoustics.

A musical genre that pairs well with art
Every era has its particular Pop music currents, which have always enjoyed their share of success on the Québec music scene. The public’s acclaim and enthusiasm have also ensured that Pop is consistently on Place des Arts programmers’ radar. Over the years, well-known exponents of the genre have graced our stages, on tour and as part of festivals and other special events. Pop music is, after all, popular, and has always been a good match with theatre and musical comedy, allowing it reach ever larger audiences across the decades.
