Place des Arts

Frommer's Review

Since 1992, Place des Arts has been the city's central entertainment complex, mounting performances of musical concerts, opera, dance, and theater in five halls: Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier (2,982 seats), where the Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal often performs; the Théâtre Maisonneuve (1,458 seats), where the Orchestre Métropolitain de Montréal and Les Grands Ballets Canadiens, perform; the Théâtre Jean-Duceppe (755 seats); the Cinquième Salle (417 seats); and the small Studio-Théâtre Stella Artois (138 seats). Portions of the city's many arts festivals are staged in the halls and outdoor plaza here, as are traveling productions of Broadway shows.
