AURA Notre-Dame Basilica
The Notre-Dame Basilica of Montreal is a masterwork of Neo-Gothic architecture, and a major historical landmark. Under a blue-tinged ceiling, its nave and vault shine in cerulean splendor. The basilica is filled with treasures including an altarpiece, bas-relief sculptures, and stained-glass windows that commemorate the city's founding.
An immersive experience inspired by the site’s history and heritage
AURA immerses visitors in a captivating visual and auditory universe projected against the backdrop of the Notre-Dame Basilica of Montreal. Dynamic lighting, orchestral music, and Neo-Gothic architecture come together to form a multimedia experience that reveals itself across four acts.
Jonathan St-Onge, General Manager of Signature Experiences at MOMENT FACTORY expresses the challenges of the ambitious undertaking: "Our challenge was in creating a meaningful experience that highlights the incredible artistic, cultural, spiritual, and architectural heritage of the Notre- Dame Basilica, without altering its identity."
Over 125 collaborators participated in the creation of the monumental experience, including over 50 musicians and choir members who lent their talents to AURA’s original orchestral score.
