The Opera House Toronto is a historic theatre and concert venue in Toronto's Riverside neighbourhood, housed in a building that preserves the distinctive character of an early-20th-century Edwardian vaudeville theatre. The venue accommodates approximately 950 guests, while its interior is defined by an original proscenium arch measuring about 35 feet (10.7 metres) high and tiered levels across the main floor and balcony. This combination of historic architecture and a relatively compact capacity creates a close connection between the audience and the stage.
Most events use a standing general-admission configuration, although the layout can be adapted for individual productions. Tiered areas on both the main floor and balcony provide clear views of the stage from different parts of the venue, while modern sound and lighting systems complement the historic surroundings. Bars, coat-check facilities and accessibility provisions for guests requiring assistance are also available.
The venue is located at 735 Queen St E, Toronto, Canada. The nearest public parking facility is Green P Carpark 45 at 111 Broadview Ave, approximately a one-minute walk from the entrance, while the Queen St East at Broadview Ave streetcar stop is located nearby for services running along Queen Street.
