Vancouver Civic Theatres The Orpheum

Sites to visit during Doors Open Vancouver 2015

When this vaudeville-style theatre first opened in the 1920s it was the largest theatre in Canada. The concert hall, which is now a designated national heritage site, is home to the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra and many international musicians, lecturers and performers have graced its storied stage over the years. The interior was refurbished in 2009 but still features a dazzling vaulted ceiling, sparkling chandeliers and many more historic architectural details. Representatives from the B.C. Entertainment Hall of Fame will be giving guided behind-the-scenes tours during the Doors Open event to share some insider stories about the theatre’s remarkable past.
