| quote: | "Plusieurs personnes étaient au courant du projet, le Aria deviendra une discothèque et une salle de spectacle. Voici l'information véhiculée dans le journal La Presse:
La saga des salles de spectacles à Montréal connaît un rebondissement inespéré et inattendu. Le propriétaire du Berri, rue Saint-Denis, transformera l'édifice pour le doter d'une salle de spectacle de 800 places et d'une discothèque de 700 places.
Gilles Laberge a acheté le Berri en l'an 2000 lors de la fermeture du complexe cinématographique qui s'y trouvait. On y a tenu ensuite un after-hours, Aria, qui a fermé définitivement ses portes le 23 décembre dernier.
M. Laberge est aussi propriétaire du Dagobert de Québec, mieux connu sur la Grande-Allée comme le «Dag», une boîte fort populaire avec deux salles où l'on présente des groupes hommages rock, ainsi que des DJ internationaux.
L'actuel sous-sol du Berri abritera 680 sièges et le rez-de-chaussée servira de balcon avec 104 sièges, pour un total de 784 places assises. À l'étage, la discothèque 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. |

| 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. |

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. |
