Orillia Opera House, Heritage opera house in Orillia, Canada.
The Orillia Opera House stands with its Richardsonian Romanesque architecture, featuring a 700-seat auditorium and modern amenities for performances and events.
Built in 1895 and reconstructed in 1917 following a fire, the building initially contained council chambers, a library, market stalls, and a local jail.
The Gordon Lightfoot Auditorium has welcomed numerous performers, including the Marx Brothers, Glenn Gould, Oscar Peterson, and Blue Rodeo throughout its existence.
The venue maintains an active calendar of events, featuring concerts, theatrical productions, and comedy shows with tickets available through the box office.
The building served as both a movie house from the 1920s to 1950s and the city council headquarters until 1997, when it became exclusively a performance venue.
