Ed Mirvish Theatre, Historic theatre in downtown Toronto, Canada
The Ed Mirvish Theatre features two levels with 2,300 seats and maintains elaborate architectural elements from its 1920 construction by Thomas Lamb.
Originally named Pantages Theatre, the venue operated as Canada's largest cinema with 3,373 seats before becoming the Imperial Theatre in 1930.
The theatre marked Canadian entertainment history by hosting the premiere of The Phantom of the Opera in 1989 with Colm Wilkinson in the lead role.
The venue offers two entrance points at 263 Yonge Street and 244 Victoria Street, near the central Yonge-Dundas Square transportation hub.
The building underwent division into six separate cinemas in 1973, showing films until its restoration to a single theatre space in 1989.
