Grand Theâtre de Quebec

Grand Théâtre de Québec is the largest theatre of Quebec which accommodates more than 11 million spectators. As the name suggests, it is really “Grand.”

Each year, approximately 400.000 people attend nearly 150 different spectacles, some 400 representations given by innumerable high- speed motorboats of music, theatre, varieties, dance and cinema.

Built at a cost of million it consists of three main components - a large hall (Salle Louis- Fréchette), a smaller auditorium (Salle Octave- Crémazie), and a conservatory (the CMQ) - as well as dressing rooms, workshops, rehearsal rooms, costume storage rooms and display areas, and offices. The project was initiated by Premier Jean Lesage of Quebec, who in 1963 proposed to the prime minister of Canada.

The Theater has presented many Canadian and foreign artists of international repute, as well as theatre, dance and opera companies. Yet it continues to serve as the home of Quebec SO, le Club musical de Québec, l'Opéra de Québec, and the Theater du Trident.
