Your Ultimate Guide to Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier’s Seating Chart

Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier, the largest venue at Montreal’s Place des Arts, is a cultural landmark hosting symphonies, ballets, and international performances. With 2,990 seats, its horseshoe design ensures excellent acoustics and sightlines. Here’s how to navigate its seating chart for the best experience.

Seating Chart Breakdown

• Orchestra (Sections A–D): Closest to the stage, offering unobstructed views—ideal for ballet and orchestral performances. Rows AA–FF may have slight overhang from balconies.
• Balconies (Première & Deuxième): Elevated views perfect for visual spectacles. Front rows (Première) provide intimacy, while rear rows (Deuxième) are budget-friendly but farther back.
• Side Boxes: Unique angled views, though some seats may have partial obstructions. Best for smaller groups.

Best Seats by Event Type

• Symphonies: Mid-orchestra (Rows M–T) for balanced acoustics.
• Ballets/Dance: Front balcony (Première) for full-stage visibility.
• Theater: Center orchestra (Sections B/C) for proximity.

VIP & Accessibility

• VIP Boxes: Private seating with premium sightlines and lounge access.
• Accessibility: Wheelchair-accessible spots in Orchestra and balcony entrances, with companion seating.

Pro Tips

• Avoid extreme side seats for symphonies to preserve sound quality.
• Balcony front rows offer better value than rear orchestra.
• Check for obstructed views in side boxes before booking.
