The 2,300-capacity MTELUS in downtown Montreal has worn many hats over its nearly 140 years. Now, in keeping up with times, the concert hall has turned to a new L-Acoustics K3 sound system installation designed and installed by Montréal-based Solotech.
Since its founding in 1884, the MTELUS has been at various times a skating rink, a summer theater, a cinema, a discotheque named Metropolis, and finally, in 1997, a live-performance venue once again. Twenty years later, after undergoing major renovations and hosting memorable concerts by David Bowie, Prince, Beck, Radiohead, Green Day, and the White Stripes, among many others, the venue was renamed MTELUS after its Canadian wireless network operator and sponsor Telus Mobility.
