 The Phantom of Toronto |
244 Victoria Street (at Shuter Street) Toronto, ON M5B 1V8 Canada +1 416 364 4100 http://www.mirvish.com |
Ideally situated opposite the Eaton Centre, this downtown theatre, one block south of Dundas and one east of Yonge. Billed as Toronto's finest vaudeville house in the 1920s, the façade has changed along with the players that take to its stage. Now, after being a comic theatre house, motion picture palace and a contemporary cinema, it has been returned to the look that first made it famous. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Landmark performance space |
60 Simcoe St (at King Street West) Toronto, ON M5J 2H5 Canada +1 416 593 4822 http://www.roythomson.com/ |
Its curved exterior and sloping glass awning, reflective in daylight and transparent in twilight, make this concert hall one of Toronto's distinctive downtown landmarks—and is located almost directly opposite the Royal Alexandra and The Princess of Wales theatres. The hall is also home to both the Toronto Symphony Orchestra and the Toronto Mendelssohn Choir. Since opening in 1982, hundreds of touring musicians and entertainers have performed here to appreciative crowds. Even though it seats 2,812, no one is further than 32 metres from the stage.
