Place des Arts in Montreal is an iconic cultural venue, and seeing the performance of "Carmina Burana" there was a truly remarkable experience. This concert hall is renowned for its exceptional acoustics and spacious, yet intimate seating arrangement, which makes it an ideal setting for such a powerful and evocative piece of music. The performance of "Carmina Burana" was nothing short of spectacular, with a full orchestra and choir bringing Carl Orff's famous cantata to life. The energy of the live music, combined with the skilled conductors and talented soloists, created an immersive experience that captured the drama and intensity of the score. The coordination and precision of the performers were impeccable, showcasing a high level of professionalism and passion for the arts. Attending a show like "Carmina Burana" at Place des Arts is not just a night at the opera; it's an event that stays with you long after the final note has been played. It’s a testament to the vibrant cultural scene in Montreal and a must-visit destination for anyone looking to indulge in high-quality artistic performances.

A wonderful, vibrant, pedestrian thoroughfare with plenty of shopping, dining options, and cultural attractions. The Museum of Contemporary Art is a must see. After dark the nighttime comes alive, setting Montreal ablaze with electronic color and moving images broadcast on highrises. The atmosphere is light and merry, featuring good clean fun. All ages, races, and various walks of life gather and play in the super fountain illuminated in gorgeous multicolor. Just beyond the fountain, teenagers energetically show off their dance skills like professionals. I can't wait for summer 2022 so that I can return!!

Elle a toujours la cote dans nos cœurs depuis plus de 60 ans et c’est parce qu’elle tient à la qualité de ses spectacles et la tenue de ses lieux. La PDA est un incontournable . Aujourd’hui c’était le spectacle Casse-Noisette, un classique, qui n’a pas besoin de se renouveler énormément pour demeurer populaire. Il y avait beaucoup d’enfants et donc c’était un spectacle pour la famille au complet. Beaucoup de stationnement existe et non seulement à la Place des Arts, car il y a le Complexe Desjardins et l’Université du Québec à Montréal juste à côté. Il demeure que de venir en transport en commun est la meilleure façon d’y arriver. Excellent service à la clientèle, tout à fait bilingue. Nous avons choisi des billets au balcon du dernier étage à l’avant-dernière rangée et sur le côté. Je peux vous assurer qu’on ne manque rien du spectacle. Bref, chaque place est bonne. Cela a été très bien conçu et vieillit très bien. _____ English PDA has always been popular in our hearts for more than 60 years and this is because it cares about the quality of its shows and the beauty of its place. The PDA is a must. Today it was the Nutcracker show, a classic, which does not need to renew itself a lot to remain popular. There were a lot of children and so it was a show for the whole family. There is a lot of parking and not only at Place des Arts, because there is the Desjardins Complex and the Université du Québec à Montréal right next door. The fact remains that coming by public transport is the best way to get there. Excellent customer service, quite bilingual. We chose tickets on the balcony from the top floor to the penultimate row and on the side. I can assure you that we don't miss anything from the show. In short, every place is good. It has been very well designed and is aging very well.

This is really a very nice place in the city. Very accessible via subway, you'll discover a lot of places nearby worth discovering. I went to see concerts at the orchestre symphonique de Montréal and this is really one of the prettiest modern concert hall i've seen. The sound is amazing. I also liked a lot my experience on the seats behind the stage. These were opened at the last minute and cheaper, but it really gives a close feeling to the orchestra. You can also see the chef at work. Kent Nagano even waved me at the end, I guess it pays to properly dress and wear a bowtie ;) Anyway, have fun.

If ever you have some creative taste you should visit this place. Even if you aren't then you will change your taste after visiting this place. Trust me it's an open showcase of various artistic skills, artists, creative events and many more. There are dancing lights, dancing water, various events kindaa festivals, places to sit and have some pleasant air, place to have some time with your bf/gf/partner, place to have some social discussions, picture, shooting locations, restaurants and a lot. There is a hall where some big ceremonies (graduation ceremonies) will happen. A lot more.
