- The Opera House (Toronto)
The Opera House is a music venue in the Leslieville neighbourhood of Toronto, Canada. It is one of the the city's most historic performing venues. It opened in the 1909 as a vaudeville stage. Seating almost 700 it was the main entertainment venue in the primarily working class neighbourhood. As films eclipsed vaudeville the theatre was turned into a cinema, operating as the La Plaza Theatre for many decades and later under a series of other names. As multiplexes made large single screen venues no longer viable as a cinema. In the late 1980s it was home to the successful gospel musical "Mama, I Want to Sing!". In the early 1990s it became The Opera House music venue.
