Salle Claude-Léveillée

The most intimate venue at Place des Arts.

A place for francophone music to shine

Named after the very first Québec singer to perform at Place des Arts, Salle Claude-Léveillée is the most intimate venue in the complex. With seating for 128, it offers an extremely cozy atmosphere.

Every year, the venue presents the Les Mélodines series and is the main home for the SACEF series, Les Weekends de la chanson Québecor, as well as for the Ma Première Place des Arts competition. You can also enjoy classical music and stand-up comedy shows in this space.
