(#15) Performance Venues in Toronto: The Music Hall Theatre

The Music Hall

Located at 147 Danforth, at Broadview, The Music Hall Theatre is also known by the names The Music Hall, or The Danforth Music Hall.

The hall was the place where the Rumours of Glory concert film was shot, on 30 November and 1 December 1981. The 1,000 seat theatre was built in 1926 and has hosted concerts from acts as diverse as The Police, the Cowboy Junkies and James Brown.

In addition to concerts, the Hall also shows movies. In fact, it is primarily a cinema for second run, classic, and art movies these days and rarely has concerts. From the outside, at least, it appears the building could use some cosmetic refurbishing, especially considering its historic significance.
