Roy Thomson Hall Toronto Reviews

A very classy music hall located in the heart of Toronto. I’ve been here a few times to watch the TSO and they’ve been an inspiration every time, being a musician myself. I recently came here for the Lunar New Year Celebration Concert and had a great time watching the show and exploring the small markets set up around the lobby.

Roy Thomson Hall in Toronto is a masterpiece of architecture and acoustics, providing the perfect setting for an unforgettable evening. Attending the Toronto Symphony Orchestra's Messiah concert here was a truly magical experience—two hours of pure bliss that brought back cherished memories. The design of the hall is both elegant and functional, offering stunning views from every angle, including the balcony, where I was impressed by the clear sightlines and exceptional sound quality.
The acoustics are nothing short of remarkable, enhancing every note and emotion of the performance. The organizers were professional and helpful, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience. With its convenient location and easy access to public transportation, Roy Thomson Hall is a gem in the heart of Toronto. I left the concert feeling inspired and uplifted and look forward to returning for more symphonic masterpieces in this extraordinary venue.

A classic venue in Toronto. Wonderful selection of concerts. Always very talented musicians. Helpful staff, decently priced concession options including beer and wine. Definitely worth a visit to see the symphony.

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 ✨️ ☄️😍
