There are no bad seats in this theatre and the acoustics are superb. The performance of Lucia Di Lammermoor was outstanding with excellent singing, acting and orchestration. It was a memorable performance in a great opera house which is equal or superior to many older opera houses in Europe.

This is Toronto’s newest big theatre — the home to Toronto Opera (the C.O.C.) and Toronto Ballet (the National). As a theatre, it is technically excellent and so much better in facilities to stage a performance than any of its predecessors. The acoustics are superb, the seating is comfortable and there is usually good ventilation. The lobby is very good... More

The Four Seasons Centre is a gorgeous building. We saw Lucia de Lammermoor and were extremely impressed by the venue and the talent. My only complaint is that they did not accept anything other than cash or debit which is an inconvenience for us US folks who do not have the "chip" in our debit cards. I would suggest they... More

I never had the chance of visiting this place but I went recently and I certainly loved it. The architecture is impressive and every single detail has been considered in deep. Nothing is there by accident. I visit on the occasion of a Ballet soiree and it was the best of my life. The acting was stunning and all the... More

It was our first outing to a ballet. Beautiful and relaxing evening. If you like the theatre, you will love ballet. The orchestra and maestro were fabulous. The ballerina was outstanding and so were the other members of this cast. If you would like a drink at the entracte, buy it before the ballet begins. This way you will not... More

Romeo and Juilliet was outstanding! The music was brilliant. The costumes and sets were something out of a renaissance masters painting.
