Toronto Centre for the Arts

Toronto


Way north on Yonge St, the TCA is home to four stages, including the 1036-seat George Weston Recital Hall, where the Toronto Symphony Orchestra performs several times each year. The more intimate Greenwin, Lyric and Studio Theatres also host dance, theater and kid-friendly shows.
