About this Event
Registration is now open on Universe:
The Orpheum, a designated National Heritage Site, was built in 1927. Each year the theatre hosts international musicians, popular concerts and unique events; it is also home to the beloved Vancouver Symphony Orchestra.
The 90 minute walking tours are led by the BC Entertainment Hall of Fame and reveal many secrets of the iconic theatre's history; including the time Frank Sinatra was almost kicked out of the theatre for breaking dressing room lights while practising his golf swing!
Reservations are strongly encouraged as tours frequently fill up in advance. Walk-up patrons will be accepted at the door as space permits.
If the cost of a reserved admission is a barrier to your participation, please contact [email protected] to explore options for support.
As this tour takes place in an operating theatre, some sections of the building may be inaccessible.
This program is presented in partnership with the BC Entertainment Hall of Fame and Downtown Van.
*Please meet guides at the Granville Street entrance.
*Please note that this tour includes walking and stair climbing.
