The Opera House, Concert venue in Queen Street East, Toronto, Canada
The Opera House stands at 735 Queen Street East with a classical Edwardian architectural design and large single-screen layout from its early theater days.
The structure opened in 1909 as La Plaza Theatre, featuring a vaudeville stage that accommodated 700 people in the working-class district of Toronto.
The building transformed into a music performance space in 1989, hosting notable Canadian bands and serving as a location for multiple music video productions.
The venue maintains its original theater configuration while functioning as a contemporary concert hall in the Riverdale neighborhood of eastern Toronto.
This former cinema became the filming location for music videos by Canadian artists including Barenaked Ladies and The Tragically Hip.
