"Roy Thomson Hall is mostly a concert hall for the TSO, but it also serves as a venue for special events like Luminato and the Toronto International Film Festival. \n\nUnlike a lot of downtown venues, there's a fair amount of underground parking; at the evening flat rate, it's a pretty good deal. But unless you're there right after the concert, expect to wait in your car as everyone else tries to leave at the same time. A better option might be to unwind for an hour at one of the places along King Street before heading out.\n\nThey finished some much needed renovations inside the hall a few years ago, which have improved the acoustics significantly (especially the hanging rig over the stage which is lowered for smaller, chamber music pieces). The hardwood accents also make the concrete interior feel a little more organic than the original design."^^ . "1"^^ . .
