Outremont Theatre, Art Deco concert hall in Outremont, Montreal, Canada.
The Outremont Theatre is a movie theater and concert hall designed in the Art Deco style, located where Bernard and Champagneur avenues meet. The building displays geometric patterns and classical details on its facade, with an interior holding around 890 seats.
The theater opened in 1929 and was designed by architects René Charbonneau and Emmanuel Briffa. Its construction incorporated fireproofing measures that became important after a cinema fire in Montreal in 1927.
The interior brings together Art Deco style with painted scenes of countryside landscapes, creating a space that feels like being in an open-air garden.
The venue regularly hosts cultural and film events and is easily reached by public transportation. Check the current schedule before visiting to make the most of your trip.
The ceiling was specially designed to recreate the effect of natural sunlight, which combined with soft-colored frescoes gives the impression of being in an open courtyard.
