Originally, the auditorium was constructed to seat 3,500 people but, after renovations in the 1940s, the capacity was reduced to 2,765."

"The Royal Alexandra Theatre—or the Royal Alex, as it’s known—is a pretty spiffy affair. The newly restored 1907 Beaux-Arts triumph is, in fact, North America’s first properly royal theater. It gained its title thanks..."
"We are certainly not deluding ourselves by suggesting that the opera is suddenly gratis. However, there are a series of free concerts in the Richard Bradshaw Amphitheatre from September to May in jazz, piano, vocal, dance, chamber and world music categories. Walking into the Canadian Opera Company and viewing the majestic staircases and grandiose ceilings, it will be hard to believe that you have paid nothing for a fine arts experience."

The opera’s company will perform, but visitors will also be treated to performances by everyone from acclaimed taiko (Japanese drumming) ensembles to famed pianists and string musicians."
"The Canadian Opera Company unveiled its amazing building in 2006 in the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts. With majestic staircases, grandiose ceilings and pitch-perfect acoustics, going to the opera quickly became a dream of an evening in the heart of downtown Toronto. This is Canada's first and only custom-built opera house and it has a European vibe that beckons you to put on your best ballgown or bow tie."
"The popular craft brewery was founded collaboratively by Ram McAllister, formerly of Hoyne Brewing Co, Brent Milcz, formerly of Boshkung Brewing Co. and Niagara College grad, and Dan Ryan, a passionate home brewer with over a decade of experience in chemical engineering. Sean and Ram worked together in Victoria, British Columbia and had discussed opening a brewery in Ontario for years. When an opportunity presented itself in 2015, Sean expanded his brewery, leaving some start-up size equipment unused."
"This brewery features a bottle shop and taproom, including a patio with 60 seats as well as 10,000 sq. ft. brewing facility. They offer different types of beer like oak-aged and fruited beers, classic continental lagers, IPAs, silky stouts and porters, and more."

"Toronto's foodies clamber over each other for a reservation at Dreyfus, which is nestled into a Victorian townhouse on Harbord Street. The 30-seat restaurant provides a transportive experience that feels part French bistro and part Montreal house party. The vibe is right, the crowd is cool, the food is French without the fuss, and it's hard to think of a better date night spot in Toronto right now."
"Among the newest and more exciting additions to Toronto’s dining scene is Dreyfus. The 30-seat Harbord spot pulls inspirations from owner Zach Kolomeir’s French-Jewish heritage (the name Dreyfus stems from the 19th-century anti-semitism scandal of the same name). Food flits between cultural identities – expect croque cubanos and old-school classics."
