A staple of Montreal’s cultural landscape since 1956, Théâtre de Verdure has been reimagined for a new era while staying true to its open-air spirit. Nestled in Parc La Fontaine, this 2,500-seat amphitheatre blurs the lines between stage and nature, with its sleek, floating platform and a removable backdrop that transforms performances into immersive experiences. Thanks to Lemay’s thoughtful redesign, the theatre integrates seamlessly with the park, offering a revitalized public space that honours its heritage while embracing modern functionality.
Every summer, Théâtre de Verdure hosts an eclectic lineup of free performances—from live music and dance to circus acts, theatre, and film screenings. Whether catching a concert framed by the park’s lush greenery or witnessing contemporary dance against the backdrop of the pond, audiences are treated to a unique fusion of art and environment. With its revitalization, Théâtre de Verdure remains one of the city’s most vibrant and accessible cultural spaces, where Montrealers can gather to celebrate performance under the open sky.
