Lasting Impressions offers a unique journey into the magic of the works of the greatest Impressionist painters. The works are projected in 3D on a jumbo screen in ultra-high definition and come to life around the spectators to the tune of a breathtaking, perfectly choreographed soundtrack.
Thanks to 3D holographic technology, visitors can sit with the guests at Renoir’s luncheon, dance with Degas’ ballerinas and fly through Van Gogh’s Starry Night. They can experience the world through the eyes of the Impressionists – the moving clouds, a ray of sunlight on the Seine, a sudden downpour in a Paris street, the sunlight gleaming on the water lilies, brightening, fading and flickering. Each painting comes to life for audience members as if they are witnessing that precise moment of inspiration.
Moreover, a light, typically French menu prepared by Mousso and a selection of wines and beverages are available to delight the senses and immerse the audience in the atmosphere of late 19th-century Paris.
Critics and audiences agree. With over 50,000 tickets sold, Lasting Impressions is the most successful event of the year!

« La Magie des Impressionnistes vous invite à redécouvrir le monde à travers une autre lentille : celle de l’émotion. »

“In search of some serenity now as well as some of the most magnificent artwork ever committed to canvas? Lasting Impressions art exhibition in Montreal lives up to its title.”
Montreal Gazette
“Sitting at a table in a room with a cozy atmosphere, a (small) glass in your hand if you wish, you will gently submerge yourself in an immersive experience of just over an hour designed in two stages (…) These are enveloping contemplative moments that you will experience at the new Studio-Cabaret / Espace St-Denis.”
Le Journal de Montréal
“Using 3D Motion Sculpting technology, brushstrokes by Monet, Renoir, Van Gogh and other Impressionist artists now digitally spring to life. The effect is breathtaking.”

« Du jamais vu à Montréal! (…) Dans ce rêve éveillé, on s’émerveille devant la beauté des couleurs qui se renouvellent sous nos yeux! Il y a aussi les feuilles des arbres qui virevoltent sous la brise et même quelques flocons de neige qu’on croirait pouvoir saisir au passage! »

« Breathtaking and inspired!»

« The first part of the evening is an insightful review of Impressionist paintings and the artists themselves. The 3D part of the show was incredibly moving, getting inside the paintings and into eye and mind of the artists. A great way to open your heart and mind and beat the winter, a great venue. Go see it. »
