Aura Basilica

Old Montréal


A unique immersive multimedia show where the interior of the Basilique Notre-Dame becomes the canvas for a light show set to surging orchestral music. The columns, ceiling and statues seem to pulse with life as video and lasers are projected all around you in a dazzling 20-minute show. You also receive another 20 minutes to take in the basilica in a calmer light show.

If you intend to watch this show, you don't need to bother visiting the Basilica by day also. Reserve online.
