Jean-Deslauriers Theatre

Built by the Catholic School Commission of Montreal in the early 1930s, the hall was originally named Plateau Hall (French: Auditorium le Plateau).

It was renamed in 1975 in honour of conductor Jean Deslauriers.

The Jean-Deslauriers Theatre seats 1,307 people and is located on Calixa-Lavallée St in the centre of La Fontaine Park.

Many notable musicians have performed in Plateau Hall, including Warren Zevon,[2] Marian Anderson, Kirsten Flagstad, Walter Gieseking, Vladimir Horowitz, Ronald Turini, Raoul Jobin, Wilhelm Kempff, Mstislav Rostropovich, Erna Sack, Igor Stravinsky and New York punk band the Ramones with Iggy Pop as the opening act.

Other bands who played Le Plateau in the 70's include Roxy Music, Caravan, King Crimson, Curved Air and Renaissance.
