Empress Theatre, Egyptian Revival theatre in Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, Montreal, Canada.
The Empress Theatre features ancient Egyptian motifs across its facade, with detailed ornamental work extending throughout the building's architectural elements.
Opening its doors in 1927, the theatre operated for 65 years until a devastating fire in 1992 forced its permanent closure.
Through different periods, the venue transformed from a vaudeville theatre to a cabaret, and later became Cinema V, specializing in repertory films.
The theatre stands abandoned on Sherbrooke Street West, with current discussions focusing on incorporating affordable housing and community spaces in future development.
Emmanuel Briffa, who designed multiple Montreal theatres, created the interior decorations following the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb.
