Orpheum, Theatre and music venue in downtown Vancouver, Canada

The Orpheum is a performance hall in downtown Vancouver and a national historic site of Canada since 1979, known for its acoustics. The building features Spanish Baroque Revival elements with a domed auditorium whose seating rows curve in arcs around a central crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling.

The theatre opened in November 1927 as a vaudeville house with nearly 3,000 seats and switched to cinema in the 1930s under Famous Players management. The City of Vancouver acquired the building in 1974 and renovated it extensively before reopening it as a concert hall in 1977.

The Orpheum takes its name from Orpheus, the musician of Greek myth, a fitting name for a 1927 vaudeville house. Its interior colour scheme of ivory, moss green, gold and burgundy was chosen by U.S. designer Tony Heinsbergen, who was brought back fifty years later for the 1977 restoration. The building has been a National Historic Site of Canada since 1979.

The hall has two entrances on Smithe Street and Granville Street, both within easy walking distance from Granville and Vancouver City Centre SkyTrain stations. Visitors will find the building on Granville Street between Smithe and Robson, surrounded by shops and restaurants in the city's entertainment district.

The Orpheum's interior appears in the 2004 Battlestar Galactica reboot, dressed as a heavenly opera house. The theatre also holds the Guinness World Record for the largest puppet stage, set during a 1997 Sesame Street Live production. Composer George Gershwin first performed here in 1927, the year it opened.
