This is a historic venue with classic charm. Its the Carnegie Hall of Canada.
Take a tour of the bar area in the basement- you will find signed memorabilia of many artists who have previously performed. And you will even find promotional material to most of the lectures and concerts since 1894. The show that got away for me was by none other than the great Bob Marley.
Other than the Molson Cdn Amp, which can seat about 16,000, this is my favourite Toronto music venue... it seats about 3000. If you get tickets to see any of their A-list performers, you can count on an intimate experience. A lot of performers step to the edge of the stage and experiment a capella style with the reverb of the room... the hall has a unique acoustic quality.
While there are seats with obstructed views, and some seating that is not as comfortable as the seats lack padding and leg room, the interior architecture is majestic and breath taking. You have an especially great view of the interior if you have side seating. When I had floor seating... I walked to the edge of the stage to look up and around and enjoy the view from the artists vantage... wondering if one day maybe I would be able to enjoy this view for more than just a few moments.
