The voices were great, we especially liked Donna Elvira, El Commendatore, and Masetto voices. I am not sure about the two story stage setup, when the singers were singing from the 2nd floor gallery, the sound was certainly worse. Still was a great experience!

I finally managed to take advantage of one of the free lunch performances and it was awesome! Now they do the performances on the small area by the stairs - so you are sitting on the steps to watch (important to note if you are wearing a dress lol). There are a few chairs set up, but not too many. I arrived at around 11:50am for the noon performance and it was already packed! So try and arrive a little earlier than I did. Staff were really nice and made everyone squeeze closer together so everyone could enjoy the singing. What a great opportunity to check out the COC! If you've never experienced Opera, I'd highly suggest checking out their free performances for a taste!

Toronto is a world-class city, but when it comes to culture sometimes it's a step behind the likes of Chicago. However, the Four Seasons fills the void. The theatre itself is super-modern and leaves something do be desired compared to the grand Opera houses of Europe (say Budapest Opera house, or Vienna State Opera). Still, the acoustics is good, and the visibility is excellent (well, at least from ring 5 row A), owing to the steep incline. Do yourself a favour and take in some culture at the Four Seasons and help support the arts.

It offers seating for just over 2,000 people. Inside, the space feels open and elegant, with easy access from Osgoode Station and an underground parking garage. It hosts performances by the Canadian Opera Company and The National Ballet of Canada, along with special events throughout the year. The performances are well-organized and staff are friendly and helpful.

Let's visit Neverland…read more Ed Mirvish Theatre is a historic downtown venue that continues to put on many of the popular productions that are in the city. We caught several broadway shows at this vast venue, including Peter Pan. We were impressed by the aerial lifts, dynamic backdrop and the swift Tinker Bell glow. The modern special effects of the show are a neat contrast to the 1920s architectural styles and decor of the historic building. The theatre has been kept in pristine condition, and the seats are comfortable. The foyer can hold a packed crowd during intermission, and features a grand staircase & concessions. Note the current theatre name is CAA Ed Mirvish Theatre but be careful not to mix this up with Mirvish's other CAA Theatre that is 20 minutes walk north. Glad we made it ahead of showtime in spite of this!

Getting in and out of theatre is bit strange. There seams to be only an elevator to get to second floor where the theatre is. Slows down a bit to get in or out. We were there for Yamato, Japanese taiko drummers. What a great performance. Yamato is a group of 9 people, 2 women and 7 men. They play mostly drums, but there was flute and cymbal playing too. The size of the drums varies from less than a foot up to 5 feet in diameter. The sticks they use for the big drums are huge too. After the show the players showed up in the hall to thank us for coming.

I lost count of the standing ovations at the show. If you think you have never heard Jay Dref sing you may be mistaken. He sang the National Anthem at the Bills/Saints game on the following day.
