2. Théâtre Corona

Little Burgundy was a lively neighborhood in the 1930s. The Jazz music scene that Montreal is now famous for thrived here and many famous American musicians crossed the border to enjoy the cabarets and theaters that lined the streets of this area in Montreal’s south west. One of these spots was the Theatre Corona, on Notre-Dame Ouest street. Built in 1912 under the name of Duchess Theater, it was a popular movie house and  theater venue with a lavish interior decor.  The demise of the Corona Theater in the 1960s and its revival  in the 1990s as a concert hall was covered in another Untapped Cities article Exploring Montreal:The soulful ghosts of Little Burgundy.
