ELGIN AND WINTER GARDEN THEATRE CENTRE
The Elgin and Winter Garden Theatre is the world’s largest operating ‘double-decker’ vaudeville theater, offering some of the best musicals, comedies and operas in the world.
Opened in 1913, the venue was meticulously restored to its original grandeur by the Ontario Heritage Trust in 1981, with the lower Elgin house boasting gilded detailing and faux marble and damask wall fabrics, while the upstairs Winter Garden Theatre blends beautiful hand-painted garden scenes, columns disguised as tree trunks and a ceiling hung with real dried beech leaves, to excellent effect. Enjoy an outstanding performance in this incredibly unique venue, or take a tour with an expert guide and discover the history behind this beautiful theater. Turn to page 18 for all the details.
