Streisand in concert, 2006.

“It took Barbra Streisand 46 years to make her Montreal debut and she must have wondered why she’d stayed away so long.

It was love at first sight between the 64-year-old diva and a well-heeled, well-behaved Bell Centre crowd that had waited a long time to hear her live. They rewarded her easily and often, beginning with the standing ovation that erupted when she rose magically at centre stage ... Her voice, lush as a sun-ripe peach, made the cavernous hockey barn sound like Carnegie Hall.”

MONTRÉAL CONCERT NOTES

The information about Streisand's Montréal concert was provided by fans who attended the show and emailed Barbra Archives about it (Their names follow the tidbits in parentheses). Thank you!
  • Barbra said she was happy to be back in Montreal, a beautiful city. She related having been here to see James when he was filming the Reagan miniseries. She also talked, before going into “The Way We Were,” about our prime minister [Trudeau] who she came to visit in 1969. She remembered going to the ballet with him and to this day recalls that amazing ballet evening. She acknowledged Pierre Trudeau's son, Justin, seated in the first row and his wife Sophie Grégoire. (Michael in Montréal)
  • After singing “Ma Premiere Chanson” (in French), lots of applause and BRAVOS! ... Barbra said ... “I never got that kind of reaction in America.” (Bill Marks)
  • The Swiss and French Il Divo boys could talk to the audience in French, which they loved. (Bill Marks)
  • Barbra said Celine Dion could not attend, but she sent flowers. (Bill Marks)
  • Sammie was not there ... when Barbra sang “Smile” she sat at the back of the stage, not the front, asking, “Can you see me here?” (Bill Marks)
  • The Bush skit went over BIG here, of course – the audience ate it up and Barbra fed off it. (Bill Marks)
  • The crowd in Montreal was louder than in New York with more standing ovations. People had been waiting for years to see her live and it was her first time in Montreal ... She expressed herself in French at the beginning by saying she had studied French but needed to learn more. Nevertheless, she often thanked the public in French which made the crowd go wild every time. Even when she played the piano and made a mistake, in New York she said: “Shit” while in Montreal she said “Merde”. It means the same thing of course, but the crowd loved it. A question she got last night was: “Which do you prefer. Singing, Acting or directing?” to which she replied: “These days, napping.” (Suzie Bergeron)
  • The front rows were actually occupied by people from the DAVID SUZUKI FOUNDATION. David Suzuki is a Canadian scientist who has committed his life to the environment. And after the show Barbra met them to have dinner in the venue in a restaurant called LA MISE AU JEU. (Michael in Montréal)
