Know Before You Go

Why it matters

Originally opened in 1909 as the La Plaza Theatre, Toronto's Opera House gives the Riverside neighborhood one of the city's oldest surviving performance rooms and a durable home for alternative touring acts.

Getting there

The Opera House is at 735 Queen Street East. There is no major on-site parking; use TTC, nearby Green P lots, street parking or rideshare.

Bag policy

Bags may be up to 12" x 6" x 12". Backpacks and oversized bags are prohibited.

Local tips

Riverside/Leslieville has plenty of places to eat before the show. TTC saves you from trying to find parking on Queen East as doors approach.

Do not automatically dismiss the balcony. A local in the thread specifically called it underrated, and it can be a strong option when the main floor is dense.
