Experience a beautiful and dramatic performance with Opera de Montreal tickets. Opera de Montreal is an opera company that has operated out of Montreal, Quebec since 1980, focusing on primarily French productions. The company performs in downtown Montreal at the Place des Arts theater. The Ministere des Affaires cultures des Quebec founded the Opera de Montreal.

The inaugural music director was Jean-Paul Jeannotte, a Canadian operatic tenor, teacher and operatic administrator, who led the opera company until 1989. Jacques Langevin became the first general director in 1983. L’Atelier Lyrique was established in 1984 to promote a national outreach.  The Montreal Opera Guild was established in 1989 to support the Opera through special events such as the Gala and fundraising.

The opera company also won two Opus Awards for its production of Jenufa Leos Janacek in 1997 and 1998, which is based on the play Jeji Pastorkyna by Gabriella Preissova. The company would again win two Opus awards in 2004 for Bluebeard’s Castle by Bela Bartok based on the French literary tale La Barbe Bleue by Charles Perrault.

What are the best seats to see Opera de Montreal live?

Opera seating choices rely on both financial capabilities and personal viewing preferences. Audience members should choose mid-to-front rows in the center orchestra for the ideal sound and view combination but those who want a grand panoramic perspective should opt for seats in the front mezzanine or balcony. People should choose seats in the middle orchestra or mezzanine for the best acoustic experience because opera houses have sound systems that transmit sound efficiently to these areas. The rear orchestra and balcony sections offer affordable seating choices at the expense of slightly reduced sound quality.
