Dressed in all black, with a halo covering her blonde hair, the singer debuted her angelic side to nearly 15,500 fans gathered at the packed Bell Center.

But we know Madonna. It won't be long before she's baring her horns to a few sensual, even daring numbers. Throughout the more than two-hour concert, the singer moved between the two poles of her personality – from angel to demon – with astonishing confidence and, above all, completely assertiveness.

“Hello Montreal! I'm so happy to be back!” “The feeling was mutual,” Madonna said quickly, feeling the pulse of the runway. The enthusiastic screams – and even howls – were clear and unmistakable.

Which is a good thing because the evening's program was particularly strong: a 40-year career (and success) revisited in a dazzling, dazzling musical marathon.
