Guided Tours of the Orpheum Theatre
Vancouver Civic Theatres is hosting guided tours of the Orpheum Theatre, one of the most beautiful concert halls in North America. The 90-minute walking tours are led by the BC Entertainment Hall of Fame and reveal some secrets of the theatre’s history.
The Orpheum, a designated National Heritage Site, was built in 1927. Each year the theatre hosts international musicians, popular concerts and unique events; it is also home to the beloved Vancouver Symphony Orchestra.
Our President, Bill Allman, was featured in this CBC Vancouver story about the storied theatre:
