      We visited this theatre to attend an event of Authentic Flamenco that Presents Yolanda Osuna.

      It was such a mesmerizing experience to enjoy such captivating folk dances and songs.

      The venue was well looked after as well with beautiful ceiling decoration.

      The only downside was that they didn't have a coat check-in service to complete this remarkable evening.

      Well done guys, you made our night and looking forward to more entertaining events from you at Fever.

      Attended a candlelight concert there. Tribute to ABBA. Fantastic venue. Talented musicians. Nice and cold on a hot summer day. Drinks and friendly servers. So happy Montreal decided to renovate this masterpiece of a theatre.

      Montreal is spot-on when it comes to historic preservation. This theatre is a prefect example. Beautifully restored ornate fixtures. The second floor balcony is an extra treat. Detailed trimming.

      This historic theater has changed hands many times over the years. Finally, it's landed in the hands of the current owners who have done their best to restore it to its former glory.

      There are five halls of varying sizes. Each can be rented for speaking engagements, music concerts, a play, business presentation, parties, you name it.

      The bar in the main theater is wonderful. Long. Not the original, but the bare bones were left, this it's been restored to quench the trust of many contributing patrons.

      This is such a cool stop on the Mile End Food Tour, and a classy piece of history!

      A real gem that has been restored at a great expense to its original look.

      They still show some movies that it is many used as a catering facility.

      Gorgeous place! We were lucky to be in a walking tour of the neighborhood to walk inside and look at the splendor of the past!

      So much history in there, from the years when it was a restaurant to an actual theater. It's hard to believe this establishment was once abandoned. The place is modeled after the opera of Paris and it has magnificent decor and Tiffany's stained glass ceilings.

      Even if you aren't going to a show there, you should go check out the beautiful building! Doesn't look it from the outside, but the inside is something!

      I remember coming to the Rialto back in the late 1980's to see concerts like The Pixies and Bad Brains then it became a rep cinema and I saw "Watership Down", "Rocky Horror" and "101 Live" the documentary about Depeche Mode.

      Over the years, it's laid empty, became a steakhouse, and now has thankfully gone back to becoming a performance space. It's a beautiful old gem of a building, they certainly don't make'm like that anymore and is now considered a historic building. With Le Spectrum gone and all these new spaces popping up backed by corporate money along with the corporate sterile atmosphere, I'm happy we've managed to hold on to the Rialto. It would be a crying shame if we lost it.

      Wow!!! We stopped by the Rialto while spending a day perusing around Mille end and were blown away by this quaint little old style theatre! These venues are from a foregone time that harks back to almost 100 years ago when the world didn't have internet and live performances were the mystique of grandeur and spectacle!

      On this day they had a free showing of the Habs playoff game so you could just stroll in! We got a great view of the stage and looked up to the mezzanine! Amazing decor and detail that gives a feeling of appreciation and amazement!

      Super cool place!!!

      Just an incredibly beautiful and beautifully restored space for bands, performing arts and even weddings and special functions.The building is a national historic site originally constructed in the 1920s inspired by the Paris Opera House. It functioned as a movie theatre until the 90s, and was finally restored and opened as a performance space in 2010. It's got this round design and gorgeous balcony that makes it feel intimate even when packed to capacity (approx 700.) It looks and sounds like the great age of theatre - all gold and sculpted details and red velvet - but remains true to the quirky diversity of the neighborhood by hosting a creative range of events with a welcoming attitude and an open mind.
