The Queen Elizabeth Theatre, operated by Vancouver Civic Theatres, is considered Vancouver’s crown jewel. It was named after its most famous patron, Queen Elizabeth II, who attended a concert at the grand opening of the theater on July 15th, 1959. The opening concert was led by Sir Ernest MacMillan and Nicholas Goldschmidt, featuring soloists Betty-Jean Hagen and Lois Marshall.
Though, the hall was officially used for the first time on the 11th July, hosting a Vancouver Symphony Orchestra concert conducted by Herbert von Karajan during the Vancouver International Festival.
Featuring a stage measuring 70 feet in width and 40 feet in depth, the theater consists of two unique spaces: the impressive 2,765-seat main auditorium and the cozy 668-seat Playhouse Theatre. The theater also has 16 wheelchair spaces.
