Theatre Maisonneuve Seating Chart & Seat Views – Best Seats for Every Budget

Your Guide to the Perfect Seat at Montreal’s Premier Theatre

Theatre Maisonneuve at Place des Arts is a cornerstone of Montreal’s cultural scene, hosting ballet, opera, concerts, and theater. With 1,458 seats, its intimate design ensures excellent sightlines, but choosing the right section enhances your experience. Here’s how to navigate the seating chart like a pro.

Seating Chart Breakdown

• Orchestra (Sections A–D): Closest to the stage, ideal for immersive performances. Rows A–F offer unobstructed views, but avoid extreme sides for skewed sightlines.
• Mezzanine (Sections 1–3): Elevated for a broader perspective, perfect for dance and orchestral events. Center seats (e.g., Section 2, Row AA) provide balanced acoustics.
• Balcony (Sections 4–5): Budget-friendly with steep elevation. Great for panoramic views, though distant for facial expressions.

Best Seats by Event Type

• Ballet/Opera: Mezzanine center (Section 2) for full-stage visibility.
• Concerts: Orchestra middle (Section B) for sound precision.
• Theater: Orchestra front (Rows A–C) to catch subtle acting nuances.

VIP & Accessibility

• VIP Boxes: Private boxes on Mezzanine level offer exclusivity and legroom.
• Accessibility: Wheelchair-accessible seats in Orchestra rear and Mezzanine, with companion seating.

Pro Tips

• For budget seats, Balcony center avoids obstructions from railings.
• Check virtual venue tools for exact sightlines before booking.
