A 1927 gilded dome in Vancouver, home of the Vancouver Symphony, and the most beautiful room you'll be seen in all year.
Granville / Smithe
More infoThe Orpheum is a 1927 picture palace with a vaulted, gilded dome and acoustics built for the Vancouver Symphony, who've called it home ever since. It's the most beautiful room in Vancouver and behaves like it knows, making everyone inside look slightly more interesting. Catch the VSO, book seats with a view of that dome, arrive early to walk the lobby, and feel very cultured.
Dress up a notch, book seats with a view of the vaulted gilded dome, and arrive early to swan around the lobby of this 1927 picture palace, half the date happens before a single note plays. Catch the VSO, a touring artist, or a film-with-orchestra night for an occasion-worthy show of about two and a half hours. Step out feeling slightly more glamorous than you arrived and float toward a late drink.
