That's ridiculous.
It's like blowing up a church.

I'm deeply disappointed in all those plans.

blowing up a church...aria ???
lol
come on...
you prefer an empty ugly building ?

Posted by Paulr on Mar-14-2007 20:53:

oups... not what I meant.
Aria was the first after-hours i went to. I went there almost weekly for a year and half, and i have some great memories there.
I'm just really sad seeing a place i liked a lot and where i projected myself mixing someday, turned into a theater.

"Plusieurs personnes �taient au courant du projet, le Aria deviendra une discoth�que et une salle de spectacle. Voici l'information v�hicul�e dans le journal La Presse:

La saga des salles de spectacles � Montr�al conna�t un rebondissement inesp�r� et inattendu. Le propri�taire du Berri, rue Saint-Denis, transformera l'�difice pour le doter d'une salle de spectacle de 800 places et d'une discoth�que de 700 places.

Gilles Laberge a achet� le Berri en l'an 2000 lors de la fermeture du complexe cin�matographique qui s'y trouvait. On y a tenu ensuite un after-hours, Aria, qui a ferm� d�finitivement ses portes le 23 d�cembre dernier.

M. Laberge est aussi propri�taire du Dagobert de Qu�bec, mieux connu sur la Grande-All�e comme le �Dag�, une bo�te fort populaire avec deux salles o� l'on pr�sente des groupes hommages rock, ainsi que des DJ internationaux.

L'actuel sous-sol du Berri abritera 680 si�ges et le rez-de-chauss�e servira de balcon avec 104 si�ges, pour un total de 784 places assises. � l'�tage, la discoth�que accueillera 693 personnes avec permis de danse, bar et spectacle."

Translation (best I could do):

A lot of people knew about Aria turning into a nightclub and theater. Here is the information gathered from the paper La Presse:

The owner of Berri on rue Saint-Denis will transform the building [Aria] into a theater of 800 seats and a nightclub for 700 people.

Gilles Laberge bought Berri in the year 2000 when the old place (a cinema) was closing down. He then created an after-hours, called Aria, that resulted in its doors closing last December 23rd.

Mr Laberge is also owner of Dagobert in Quebec City (better know as "Dag" among French Quebecers) which is essentially a big boxed room with two halls where homage rock groups play and international headliner DJs make appearances.

The bottom floor of Berri will take 680 seats and the main floor will take 104 seats, for a total of 784 places to sit. The nightclub will accommodate 693 people and will feature a fully licensed bar along with its nightclub and theater permits.

I never got to experience Sona.
I was there and it was under renovations, then it closed.

Posted by jester on Mar-15-2007 18:26:

Seeing that Laberge still owns it. I have a feeling he will still book djs and stuff. Atleast it be 10-3 club now. It shall be interesting to see how it turns out.

Posted by LiGHT78 on Mar-15-2007 18:49:

I miss Aria.

Posted by Kendo on Mar-15-2007 22:37:

Sona for the win.

Posted by Caela on Mar-15-2007 23:50:

thanks for the translation mmx

yeah i miss aria too, but if it had stayed around forever, i don't think it would be glorified like it is now...it closed when it was on the downward spiral...would any of you guys really of liked to see it travel into a worse place before closing? nah...me neither.
