Rated 4.6 out of 5 Star Rating

5 Star Rating This place is beautifully designed for a full enjoyment of orchestras and classical music. The acoustics is perfect and you feel really immersed in the experience. I’d recommend it to anyone who lives in Toronto or who’s just visiting town.

5 Star Rating Final Fantasy vii Rebirth Orchestra World Tour was amazing. The venue was pretty cool, too. The layout of the building and our seats were awesome. The staff was courtesy and enthusiastic, very nice energy. The conductor adds a certain flair to the production. I loved the show, my first one of the tours, but not my last. My seats were L1 G456, to see the show better i recommend seating in the middle to see the screen better, or higher to view the Orchestra, on the main floor felt very intimate as i could see the players and the conductor reaction to the applause. Overall a stellar experience ✨️ ☄️😍

5 Star Rating The Roy Thompson Hall has always been a great destination for me! I love to marvel at the building itself and sitting inside is nothing short of incredible. The intricately engineered concert hall creates a unique sonic experience for the audience. Bonus: they have complimentary coffee and tea for the show! All around lovely space to be in and a great idea for a date night. I went to see Mah Moud and Mustafa The Poet, such an incredible show, the acoustics of the venue enlivened the whole crowd like you where right there on stage with them.

4 Star Rating After seeing this beautiful venue only from the outside my entire life, I attended a concert here and it the venue is beautiful! The seats were so easy to access, wayfinding and staff were great too + easily accessible by transit. Bonus for also being close to so many great food spots as well.

4 Star Rating RTH is a gorgeous venue no matter what reason you visit for. The Toronto Symphony Orchestra is excellent, taking in a film during TIFF is a great experience, and you can't go wrong participating in National Geographic Live. The seats are big and plush. There isn't a bad seat in the venue. The only downside is the hard to access, tiny bathrooms. The accessibility of the venue was a real afterthought.
