Roy Thomson Hall

Roy Thomson Hall, located in the heart of the King St. theatre district, was opened in 1982. Its curvilinear exterior design and sloping glass canopy have made this concert hall a Toronto landmark.

The Princess of Wales Theatre

The Princess of Wales' stage is one of the widest and deepest in North America - large enough to accommodate the most spectacular theatrical productions - and its technical facilities are state-of-the-art.
