The Place des Arts is an entire complex dedicated to visual and performing arts. Three great cultural organizations make their home here. Place-des-Arts is a beautiful art venue nested in the middle of Montreal and a great spot to hang out as there is always something to see, do, or hear in there. It is the largest cultural and artistic complex in Canada.nnPlace-des-Arts is Montreal's central entertainment complex. This fun entertainment area hosts many concerts, plays, festivals, parties, and many other events Opera, theatre, or Broadway musicals.
It is always a pleasure to come watch performances at Place des Arts. This year has been one of many good shows and fun times. And, I recommend the Archambault, full of neat things!
Beautiful place although acoustic is poor mostly from the corbeilles. Friendly crew, parking and services are convenient —I wish they offer longer opera seasons.
It is THE place of culture in our city. We try to go as often as possible, through past 25 years of my experience this stage has seen everything from Jesus Christ Superstar, Cesaria Evora, Nick Cave, Mozart's Magic Flute to Dirty Dancing the musical or the latest marvelous Amadeus movie with live orchestra. Ticket prices could be quite high, but that's not unexpected. Wish they had more membership options outside of the opera. Following the footsteps of the Broadway you can now bring drinks to your seats, which makes the experience more enjoyable and doesn't force patrons chug champagne after the 3rd bell. The decor is getting dated, bathroom and bar lines are still an issue.
We attended a young French singers artists show featuring less known songs and we really enjoyed the evening; it’s a great program to support Canadian young musicians and singers, young talents.
