  • Air Canada Centre

    When hockey’s Maple Leafs and basketball’s Raptors are not filling the seats with Toronto fans, the arena hosts big-name musical acts (see Air Canada Centre).

  • Alternative drama and dance at this relatively recent addition to the scene.

  • Fans of CanStage’s contemporary drama fill the seats.

  • The largest producer of opera in Canada stages seven productions each season.

  • Theatrical productions of international and Canadian works, including musicals.

  • Big musicals have replaced vaudeville on the bill. The 1920s interior is a fantasy of gilt-framed mirrors and chandeliers, a magnificent staircase and dome.

  • These two theaters have been restored to their original splendor. Opened in 1913 as a double-decker venue – the Winter Garden seven stories above the Elgin – they host concerts, operas, and hit Broadway musicals (see Elgin Theatre, Winter Garden Theatre).

  • The lower half of the double-decker Elgin and Winter Garden Theatre Centre was built in 1913 as a movie house and, with its lavish gilding and proscenium arch, is a historic gem.

  • One of Toronto’s oldest houses shows works by Canadian playwrights. Many masters, including local George F. Walker, got their start here.

  • This 1,036-seat concert hall hosts international performers along with local favorites the Toronto Philharmonic Orchestra and the Amadeus Choir.
