The Show Must Go On: The Most Spectacular Theaters
| June 18, 2018
The Winter Garden Theater – Toronto, Canada
The Winter Garden Theater, and its sister theater the Elgin, is the last surviving pair of Edwardian stacked theaters in the world. Although both theaters are beautiful, the Winter Garden is by far the most spectacular because of the remarkable way that they chose to decorate the auditorium.
The walls are all hand-painted with watercolors, and the ceiling is covered wall to wall with dried and painted beech leaves, which hang down in a massive canopy. The theater, which was originally built in 1913, was completely restored in 1989, and now hosts regular performances of live theater and music.
