Montreal Academy of Music was a theater that had 2100 seats and was situated on the East side of Victoria street in Montreal, just North of Sainte-Catherine street. It was inaugurated in 1875 and demolished by 1910 so that the Goodwin store could be enlarged. The Goodwin store later became Eaton's, which later went bankrupt and gave way to a large downtown shopping mall and the Les ailes de la mode store.
This building was known for its theatrical presentation. In 1877, Calixa Lavallée directed Jeanne d'Arc by Gounod. La Traviata and Lucia di Lammemoor were presented in 1890, and Lohengrin and Les Hughenots in 1892 by Emma Albani. Also, Victor Herbert's, Cyrano de Bergerac was presented for the first time on September 11th1899.
