On a recent trip from New York (my first to Toronto)I heard a jazz concert in the hall. What a wonderful mixture of performance, architecture and audience. It is perhaps the best performance hall I have ever been in. The mixture of old and new is 1st rate. I would tell any friends visiting Toronto to go.

The sound issues experienced during one or two performances early on were due to a malfunction with one of the speakers. Rest assured the problem has been rectified.

Just as previously stated, the entrance from Philospher’s Walk and the incorporation of the Conservatory are amazing.
Unfortunately, the sound during one of the performances we attended was awful. Hopefully, that has been rectified.

A fine performance centre – refreshingly respectful of its site and situation. Creative use of materials and wonderful sound. Side balcony seating not successful – cramped, orientation not effective. A welcome musical space and place.

I love the old and the new; entering from Philospher’s Walk, brings tall trees indoors and the glass atrium. Can’t wait to celebrate!It is every bit as gorgeous as the Oslo Opera House, Norway!which won World Architecture Festival in Barcelona in 2008.

Very similar to Hungarian Palace of Arts!
But looks great…

The use of wood on the ceiling is very dramatic.
