HISTORY
Surrounded by a deep history of Toronto’s ever changing architectural landscape. Originally a Military base, in the early 1900s, the grounds were handed over to the city to become the Exhibition. The Exhibition grounds expanded in the early 1950s, with buildings and monuments typifying the modernist style including the Food Building (1954), the Shell Oil Tower (1955), Queen Elizabeth Building (1957) and the Princess Margaret Fountain (1958).
The Queen Elizabeth Theatre was designed by the renowned Architect, Peter Dickinson, who’s works also include Meridian Hall (formerly, O’Keefe Centre), the first Four Seasons Hotel and Inn on The Park in Toronto. Originally opened in 1956 and The Theatre was renovated in 2010, and most recently upgraded in 2019.
Now a convertible venue with removable floor seating, the venue’s seating capacity is 1,140 and for General Admission concerts allow for 2,400. Boasting world-class sound, this venue hosts the world’s top talent and local artists alike.
The building also houses the Fountainblu Banquet Centre, with 5,500 square feet of space overlooking the Exhibition Grounds to Lake Ontario.
