Meridian Hall, Performing arts center at Front Street East, Toronto, Canada.
The theater features 3,191 seats within its mid-century modern architecture designed by Peter Dickinson, establishing itself as Canada's largest soft-seat theater.
Opening as O'Keefe Centre in 1960, the venue held the pre-Broadway premiere of Lerner and Loewe's Camelot during its inaugural red-carpet celebration.
The center has presented national and international performances across multiple genres, including shows by Bob Dylan, Janet Jackson, and numerous ballet companies.
The facility provides disabled access, detailed seating maps, and multiple nearby parking options, with convenient access to restaurants and hotels.
In 1974, ballet dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov made his historic defection from the Soviet Union during a performance at this Toronto venue.
