Place des Arts

I was here for the Nutcracker play. Wonderful performance & staff are helpful! Re seating: Don’t book the upper balcony if you’re afraid of heights like I am lol - the view is great but it’s really high and you’d need to climb a few flights of stairs to reach the level. i’d try mezzanine next time!

Great venue. Acoustics are amazing. Not a bad seat in the house. Also the seats are quite comfortable. Well managed and easy to get to your seat

Place des Arts is, in my opinion, one of Montreal’s greatest cultural gems. The area around it has evolved into one of the city’s most charming yet bustling sectors, with something to enjoy in every season. I can easily imagine how delighted tourists must feel when visiting. Its proximity to excellent restaurants and the metro (subway) makes it very accessible, though parking can sometimes be a bit tricky—but not enough to take away from the experience. I’ve attended numerous shows here, including Broadway productions, which are truly spectacular. My only real criticism is the sound quality, which isn’t always ideal. While many may overlook this, an acoustic overhaul would significantly elevate the entertainment experience and make this venue even more remarkable.

The Nutcracker in Montréal this year was a magical and festive experience. The dancing was elegant, the costumes and sets were beautiful, and the music created a warm holiday atmosphere. It’s a classic show that feels especially special for families and anyone looking to get into the holiday spirit.

Christmas Market. Small, very crowded and a limited variation of stands, even for food. They should get inspired by any European Christmas Markets.

Saw 2 concerts in October. Mezzanine seats are too small. Also mezzanine seats don't have a unobstructed view (lighting fuxtures) of the screen images. It's something Place Des Arts should consider for people sitting higher (project images lower i n the screens) Parterre seats are ideal.

Lots of fun.always great festivals . Love the jazz festival. Have been over 10 times Don't let the name fool you. A good variety of music. Jazz, blues, hip-hop, rap rock, you name it and is there.

Had a wonderful evening on October 30th 2025. Spectators and performers were dressed in costumes. Lots of fun. Sound is amazing. Comfortable seats.
