The Orpheum Vancouver
Historical theatre from 1927
The beautiful home of the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra is truly a sight to see and a must-visit for an evening show in the city. The Orpheum plays host to some of the trendiest up and coming artists that travel through town, and has even showcased international superstars like Adele on their rise to fame. While its performers are incredible and diverse in musical genre, the interior of the building is even more remarkable: standing the test of time since its opening in 1927.
A night at the Orpheum will certainly be a night well spent. The size of the theatre makes for a cozy atmosphere and brings you even closer to the performers. At any given time of the year, there are usually different performers every night or so, giving you plenty of options.
Located right on the Granville strip, The Orpheum lies in the heart of Vancouver’s entertainment district. After your show, step outside and enjoy some of the city’s best nightlife. Even better, there are plenty of 24-hour restaurants that serve the perfect late night snacks.
You won’t want to miss out on this Vancouver classic!
