| - I don't have a great deal of experience in terms of concert halls. I went to the Wilfrid-Pelletier Hall a long while ago, so this was my vision for the Maison Symphonique. I was so pleasantly surprised! First, you get to access it through the Place-des-Arts metro, without having to go outside, a million bonus points! The "House" is roomy, yet intimate, thanks to the all-wood decor.The seats are very comfy, regardless of where you sit, even in the choir, were everyone picks a bench spot. The various concert-goers around me were praising the acoustics, and I'll have to trust them on that one.
I truly dislike the external layout of the place, it is tailor-made for traffic jams. The narrow staircase is the only staircase, so prepare to line up and down before the concert, during the concert, after the concert..
I get it, I'm a tad of a hoarder too, when I go somewhere, I need at least a water bottle, my wallet and a book, but dear person to my right, did you need your expedition backpack, (plus winter coat, plus boots), the one I had to share my seat with? The one that kept clinking when you moved throughout the Tchaikovsky piece? The coat check is 3$ and right in front of the entrance, your neighbours will be thankful.
