Built in 1927, the Orpheum has hosted thousands of international musicians, concerts, and home to the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra.

The building was designed by world-renowned architect Marcus Priteca and the Orpheum is considered one of his most treasured projects.

The theatre is filled with beautiful details including gold leaf, intricate ceilings, grand staircases, and over 145 crystal chandeliers.
