Roy Thomson Hall Toronto Reviews

Rated 4.7 out of 5 Star Rating

5 Star Rating I had a really good experience at an orchestra performance at Roy Thomson Hall. The staff were friendly and helpful, which made everything smooth from the moment I arrived. The music was beautiful and very relaxing. It honestly helped me forget about stress and just enjoy the moment. Overall, it was a simple but meaningful experience for me, and I would definitely go again to enjoy another concert there.

5 Star Rating Great concert hall, designed by famous architect Arthur Erickson (1924-2009), with excellent views and lots of leg space. I loved tonight's concert by the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, performing Shostakovitch's violin concerto No. 2 and Tchaikovsky's symphony No. 5 under the baton of Hannu Lintu (born 1967) and with Elina Vähälä (born 1975) as the violin soloist.

5 Star Rating What a fabulous performance!!! Great talent, great performance, great seats, great sound, great service!!! Need I say more!! Highly recommend attending the symphony. The first half was a little unexpected with some whimsy worked into the sound. I could almost picture some shenanigans in some classic Disney productions in the sound. The second half was more intimate with an incredible cellist who played without sheet music. Absolutely incredible. The logistics, we took an Uber but found there was ample parking so feel free to drive. The bar was well stocked and while pricer than a restaurant, it wasn't as expensive as some other venues. The doors only open an hour before the performance so if the weather is unpleasant then don't arrive earlier than that but if the weather is nice, then it's a nice walk around the area and several bars and restaurants to have a nibble before going in. Enjoy!!
