Opera Ontario Review

Beautifully designed. Accessible and fabulous accoustics!

Spectacular Nutcracker performance. Amazing back stage.

Watched the Nutcracker there. Place is great. Also, there is no dress code for this place.

Very nice theatre. Saw the Nutcracker here and it was great.

I've been here a couple of times this year, once to see COC's The Nightingale and once to see COC's Hadrian. This building is absolutely gorgeous. My experience was made even better by the fact that Hadrian was phenomenally mesmerizing, but that takes nothing away from the stunning beauty of the architecture.

I've had seats in Ring 3 and Ring 4. Both sections afford good views of the stage. I had no problems reading the surtitles and was still able to enjoy the costumes and set designs. The acoustics are excellent and the seats are comfortable.

Don't drive there. The Centre has direct access to Osgoode Station, so it makes transit access too convenient to bother with a car. I'm a member of nearby University Club, so dining before the show is easy. The Four Seasons seems to have great access to everything for a fantastic night out.

I can't wait to be back for The Nutcracker later this year!

Great venue for the Nutcracker. Good sightlines and the acoustics are excellent

What an amazing building. Saw an opera and also attended operanation.

A beautiful facility to watch the ballet or opera! Not a bad seat in the house!

Great location. There are parking lots all around and close by. Staff is always polite courteous and helpful. The stage, musicians and dancers are always great.

What a beautiful place. The outside is a bit drab but the inside takes your breath away and makes you feel welcome which is great when you're there to see a show, you want to be comfortable which the seating is and you want to enjoy the overall experience which we did.

Have seen a couple of ballets here. The architecture and lighting of the building make for great photos here

Attended the "Shen Yun" performance hete...amazing show/great acustics(wirh live orchestra)...easily accesable...staff very courteous and helpful/neautiful auditorium/ architecturally pleasing.

Excellent service and the best Japanese food I have had since San Francisco

Had a wonderful time watching romeo and juliet in dance. Lively ambience and wonderful cast

The ballets held there are to die for, the food at intermission are cute and small and their seats are comfortable. I love it.

Saw the Alice in Wonderland ballet show.

The place is gorgeous, it was all of 6 or 8 minutes away from Union Station by the subway.

Service was excellent, friendly, informative and professional.

Impeccable cleanliness and upkeep through out the building.

Everything is expensive here, but you should know that just by looking at the place, but the shows themselves are accessible to all people of all walks of life.

One of the biggest and happiest surprises I had was seeing the diversity of people from all ages and races, all smiling and having a wonderful time enjoying the art of ballet.

Truly wonderful.

My second time at the opera and I was late to it. I forgot they only let you in during intermissions or something like that. Anyway I thought it was pretty cool. The set design was out of this world and the story of Rusalka was refreshing compared to modern stories. I also ran into a few friends inside which was nice.

Nutcracker was amazing. New and inventive ways of telling the story. Cool technical effects. The box seats were definitely worth it and as always the concession was expensive. The honeycomb is made from the bees they keep on the roof and is so yummy.

This is an absolutely gorgeous venue!
I attended La Boheme last month and this was the perfect centre for the show.

I went to see Alice in Wonderland and it was a great production. Service was professional as always.

Best place I ever been. Sleeping Beauty amazing ballet!!!

Watched the nut cracker here. Great performance and venue.

Nutcracker ballet was enjoyable. Not my cup of tea but I can appreciate the talent and hard work that goes into it.

Beautiful theatre and host of top class performers. I saw two National Ballet performances here and was blown away.

Great show and impressive building. Very expensive, however. We paid over $100/ticket for nosebleed seats (although looking down from the top tier was actually and interesting perspective)

Beautiful location to see a performance. We saw The Nutcracker and it was wonderful. The seats are spacious and the reception area is large with floor to ceiling windows that offer nice views of University Avenue. Food and drink is not permitted in the theatre.

Best venue in Toronto. Excellent acoustics and roomy seating.

Great venue with friendly staff to help you get situated. Great night out!

The theatre is beautiful but they should have built more women s restrooms. I ve been in lines going all the way down the hall.

Saw the Nutcracker here - fantastic performance in a beautiful setting.

Very cool venue. 5 stars for the hospitality and the extra leg room withing the rows. I'm a tall man and find my legs being cramped against the row in front of me. There was at least 4 or 5 inches of extra space!

It's a it too modern for my liking and productions have become sub par from the past.

Spectacular, I saw the participation of the National Ballet of Canada. One of the best and very good facilities, very modern and near the center of the city, 2 blocks.

I don't know of any other place you can publicly weep over beautiful art without being judged, while also rubbing shoulders with Karen Kain.

Great acoustics for the ballet. Almost all seats give you a good view, but I prefer to sit on the floor (orchestra level).

There is no bad seat in the house. acoustics are awesome

Absolutely loved it. Nice setting friendly and helpful staff.

One of the few buildings in Toronto that has incredible architecture that uses lighting and glass to make it very special. I've been here a few times for industry events, and the lobby area transforms into a great area to socialize. - A Richard Trus review

Very nice venue. State of the art. Ballet productions here are very good. Always enjoy time spent.

Very fancy place. Event was over populated though, waited in line for coat service for 20mins and was told they were full.

Got the amazing opportunity to perform her with TWYO in front of John Mackey. It was a surreal experience and thi splace is really amazing too.

We saw the Nutcracker at Christmas with seats around the pit. Not too sure what to call these seats but there were six people to a box. What a set up. If you want drinks or food be sure to pre order as it's a quick collection at intermission. We felt sorry for everyone who hadn't thought ahead.

Amazing experience. Beautiful venue, friendly staff, reasonable prices.

Very satisfying. Wasn't disappointed with any of the wide variety of foods.
The fresh table carved meat selection was awesome. Must try the pineapple
A little pricey, but , ,,,mmm !!

Loved the place.great shows.Amazing theatre and premises

A gorgeous space hosting some incredible performances

Amazing space for opera, music and ballet! The Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts is located in the heart of Toronto!
Many restaurants and shops nearby.
Accessible by subway and ample parking in the building and area.

Perfect for a night out when desiring some high culture. Stunning building and great acoustics

Staff were extremely courteous and helpful with my father, who has limited mobility and requires a walker.

I have had an exciting experience here. Pleasant facilities, spectacular stage, perfect stage equipment, great orchestras and actors. Thanks to them, I had a fantastic time.
Especially, the tenor of Rodolfo Station was amazing (what I saw was Puccini's La Boheme)
In Canada, we saw the first opera, with English subtitles on stage. There are some people who think that opera is in Italian and it is difficult and boring, but in real time English subtitles appear and you can enjoy funny opera without getting bored. It is very convenient to visit the location. It is close to city hall, and station is near.
The Eaton Center is also nearby so you might enjoy eating and shopping after sightseeing.
This is a free series of vocals, piano, jazz and dance. Please refer to homepage.

What a beautiful venue! We saw a spectacular performance of The Nutcracker on December 31st! A special Mother and Daughter outing to end 2019. Give yourself some extra time if you have mobility issues, there are no restrooms on the ground floor.

Amazing place to see the Ballet. Seats are incredible

Beautiful venue. And the National Ballet is amazing. Always.

The seating is comfortable sound great for all performance

Beautiful centre. Very comfortable seating, amazing to watch ballet. Go early to hear them talk about the show before on the stairs.
Also very beautiful from the outside.

Admittedly, I m biased because I work here, but this is one of the best theatres in North America for grand synthetic productions such as opera and ballet. The acoustic isolation between the stage and the outside world (the whole building literally floats!) makes it a whole special world for the appreciation of musical art forms. The technical staff are fantastic, and there is no other place in Toronto you can get such a diverse offering of world class performance!

Uncomfortable chairs
Great shows

Went there for a show, the concert hall is spacious and the acoustics are great

Beautiful place. Looked like every seat would be a great view. Lots of room

My daughter just needed to pee. It cost me $12 to get entry and use the washroom. Nice place though.
