Benyamin Nuss to join Arnie Roth!
Fabulous pianist, Nuss has dedicated his life to music since he was but 6 and has, to this day, won several prizes and grants. On top of his own tours, his love for video games and their soundtrack led him to become a featured soloist for Symphonic Fantasies and Distant Worlds, both tribute concerts to Square Enix and Final Fantasy, respectively. Come meet him alongside Arnie Roth the day before their concert at Palais Montcalm, A New World: Quebec City!

Age-restricted activites!
We know it’s not always easy to carry a wallet while in cosplay. Still, we suggest keeping a proof of ID on hand in case an activity you want to take part in is age-restricted. Don’t get caught off-guard at the door!
Sébastien Mineau back again to breathe life into the event!
MC for 12 years, costumer for over 20, Sébastien Mineau hosts shows like no one else does. Kind and respectful, he knows the work that goes into creating cosplays first-hand, and is thus a perfect fit when it comes to being the voice of the masquerade. All are to have fun under his watch, be they under the spotlights or in the audience!
