Seville Theatre, Heritage movie theater in Ville-Marie, Canada
The Seville Theatre was a 1,148-seat cinema located on Sainte-Catherine Street West, designed with Spanish Renaissance architectural elements. The building featured elaborate decorative details that characterized its interior spaces.
The cinema opened in 1929 under the design of architects Emmanuel Biffra, Daniel Crighton, and Cajetan Dufort. It operated until 1984 before eventual demolition took place.
The venue became a performance destination in the 1940s, hosting renowned artists who drew audiences from across the city. Its role shifted from screening films to presenting live shows that shaped the entertainment scene.
The building no longer exists, having been demolished in 2010. A modern residential complex called Le Seville now occupies the site with apartments and ground-floor commercial spaces.
The interior ceiling created an artificial night sky, a feature found in only about fifteen such atmospheric theaters across Canada. This design element provided an immersive viewing experience for audiences.
