Place des Arts

Place des Arts contains six performance venues of varying sizes, from the 2,996-seat Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier to the intimate 129-seat Salle Claude-Léveillée.

The complex opened in 1963 as part of Mayor Jean Drapeau's initiative to expand Montreal's downtown area eastward from the business district.

The center serves as home to the Montreal Symphony Orchestra, Orchestre Métropolitain, Les Grands Ballets Canadiens, and the Opéra de Montréal.

The facility connects to Montreal's underground city network, providing sheltered access to metro stations, restaurants, and shopping areas throughout the year.

The esplanade transforms into a central performance space during the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal, accommodating thousands of spectators.
