What travellers are saying
- Zannah64 contributionsIt was really fun exploring Mile End with my daughter. We went to the Olympico café, the Croissant frigaro, the Papier Japonais and the Falafel Yoni for lunch.Written June 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Nomad796818Montreal, Canada3 contributionsGuarantee of great sound, I am not an audiophile but it does not matter where you sit for a great sound experience. The place was built for sound. Choose wisely for seats since if you are seeing a large concert maybe choose a little higher. Lower loges are no better than central and I prefer to see the entire show. Red Army Choir is my next. Pre pay parking and pre reserve dinner at local places makes things simple.Written December 17, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Brian PNew York City, NY568 contributionsLovely, intimate venue. Although actors were mic'd, it probably wasn't necessary since the acoustics were great and theatre is small. Keep in mind, I'm an avid NYC theater goer, so comparing to a much larger scale. My husband & I saw "Strawberries in January" and it was exceptional. We support live performances often, so was pleasantly surprised, this being our 1st of hopefully many, Montreal shows. The 4 actors were very talented, as well as, the musicians playing above. It was a beautiful show in a charming space!Written January 24, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Angela TEssex, VT2 contributionsResearch the language options in advance to your IMAX visit. We did and we enjoyed every minute of the presentation.
Refreshing and delicious snack options and refreshments available.
Enjoyable views and seating options for all in the waiting area.Written August 23, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Everything bout the performance was good, the costumes, dancing, Orchestra, and the crowd appreciated it very much. It was my first time seeing this company perform and would like to see them again.Written June 11, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- LucyjuneHanover, NH53 contributionsThe whole family loved our visit to Tohu for the Flip Fabrique performance of Blizzard. The show was beautiful—athletic, graceful, fun. Friendly, diverse crowd, lots of families. We paid a bit extra for good seats, and it was well worth the investment. Tohu facility is nice. Parking lot directly across from entrance, $8 cash fee. Bathrooms are big and well kept. Only downsides: it’s a bit of a trek from centre ville, and there’s nowhere to dine nearby.Written January 2, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- OughevornerMontreal, Canada13 contributionsThe Piano Fantasy with Serouj Keradjian & Band delivered an exceptional performance deserving of 5 stars. However, the ambiance was marred by the distracting noise from the air conditioning system on the balcony level, which took away from the overall experience.
If the theatre is meant to be rented for concerts the management might want to consider to fix this problem.
The architectural beauty of the theatre is a spectacular!

Here, the province is Québec and the sensibility is as well. I've seen about 10 of their offerings over 30 or so years. I've noticed that their promotional materials (which have a 'young' look typical of Montréal in general) have little or no relationship to the actual look and feel of their productions, which tend to be conventional and often ad-hoc. Not a bad thing. Orchestra and chorus are always strong. As others have noted, the acoustics are quite good for the size of the hall, and the pit muffles the sound a bit (it's always a bit dull). The company tends to offer leading parts to local talent, sometimes with dazzling effect, but they also bring in solid international singers, which means that, sometimes, you'll catch a rising star, or a well-established 'house' singer from the Met and elsewhere. The thing I love the most, though, is the feeling that this is what Montrealers *do.*Written November 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- sanju_222323New Jersey17,804 contributionsThe 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.
Place-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).Written December 1, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Frank SoriesSan Francisco, CA224 contributionsI attended movies here on every visit to Montreal back when it was still the Paramount Theatre. While not as fresh and clean as in the old days, it's still a pleasant enough experience. I viewed the most recent Star Wars film from a D-Box seat and enjoyed it very much. I didn't know what D-Box was, since Ive never encountered it here in the States. I turned the movement level up to high and took a wild ride. The movement was perfectly synchronized to the action on-screen. I'm glad I tried it, and I might even try it again!Written December 31, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ross MCleveland, Ohio31 contributionsThe theater itself was fine, the seats were comfortable. The acoustics were good and the sight lines were pretty good. They ran out of playbills. The location was very convenient, and we recommend Uber. Caliber of cast was amazing!Written June 30, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- michael_cruisesOsaka, Japan305 contributionsWith Montreal’s declining English comunity you would expect an inferior English theatre.
Yes the venue is not huge, but the quality of shows sure make you feel like they are.
In either theatre you really feel like you are part of the production.....love this Gem of a Theatre!Written April 23, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

My husband left his wallet on the bar and a good security guard grabbed it and hung on to it until my husband went looking for it... had they not been fast enough, it may have been stolen and we never would have found it in this huge sold out venue! The coat check was understaffed a bit... it took abut an hour to get our coats...Written March 5, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
