Tickets for the Canadian Opera Company in Toronto are now considered one of the most desirable items in town, with more than 100,000 people attending Canadian Opera Company performances in a recent year. The company has 16,000 subscribers and opened a new facility, the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts, this year. The Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts is located at 145 Queen St. W.
Built to resemble some of the traditional European auditoriums, the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts is designed for state-of-the-art acoustics while preserving a comfortable listening venue for the audience. The new facility provides ample room for a full orchestra, adding to the excellence of Canadian Opera Company productions. In addition, the new facility includes space designated for public recitals and performances in a slightly less formal setting. Tours of the new facility are available on Saturdays only.
Known as the largest opera company in Canada and among the largest in all of North America, the Canadian Opera Company encourages work by new opera talent, in addition to producing some of the world's opera classics. One of the company's primary visions is to continue as a training ground for young talent in all areas of opera.
The Joey and Toby Tanenbaum Opera Centre at 227 Front Street E. in Toronto is the traditional home of the Canadian Opera Company, with ties to the original buildings of the late 1800s. The company's administrative offices and main rehearsal halls remain at the Tanenbaum location. More information about the Canadian Opera Company is available by calling (416) 363-6671.
