Orpheum, Performance hall in downtown Vancouver, Canada
The Spanish Baroque Revival style building contains a domed auditorium with curved seating arrangements and a central crystal chandelier suspended from the ceiling.
The Orpheum opened its doors in November 1927 as a vaudeville house before transforming into a movie theater during the 1930s under Famous Players management.
The Vancouver Symphony Orchestra performs regularly in this venue, which stands as the largest performing arts organization throughout Western Canada's cultural landscape.
The venue offers two entrances on Smithe Street and Granville Street, with convenient access from both Granville and Vancouver City Centre SkyTrain stations.
The theatre's interior architecture served as a filming location for the 2004 television series Battlestar Galactica, where it represented a celestial opera house.
