Place des Arts is currently (Autumn 2024/Winter 2025) in the process of replacing the elevator providing access to Théâtre Maisonneuve and Théâtre Jean-Duceppe. This update has become necessary due to wear and tear on the old system and a desire to meet current universal accessibility standards. Alternative solutions have been put in place to meet our clients’ needs and to ensure that the venues remain accessible to all throughout the duration of the work.
Théâtre Maisonneuve: We recommend that people with reduced mobility choose a ticket in the Parterre section and arrive 1 hour before the start of the show—that is, 15 minutes before the doors open.
