A Memorable Night at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver Introduction: The Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver is a beautiful venue that offers a memorable experience for anyone who enjoys live performances. I recently had the pleasure of attending a concert there and was blown away by the atmosphere, acoustics, and overall experience. Atmosphere: From the moment I walked into the theatre, I was impressed by the grandeur of the space. The stunning architecture and elegant design create a sense of sophistication and elegance that make you feel like you're in for a special evening. The seating arrangement is comfortable and spacious, which allows for an unobstructed view of the stage from anywhere in the house. Acoustics: As someone who appreciates good sound quality, I was thrilled with the acoustics at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre. The sound system is top-notch, and every note and word from the performers was crystal clear. I was impressed by how well the theatre balanced the sound, so even during the most dynamic and intense moments of the show, there was no distortion or feedback. Overall Experience: The Googoosh's concert I attended was fantastic, but the Queen Elizabeth Theatre made it even better. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the theatre was clean and well-maintained. It was clear that they take pride in providing a world-class experience for their patrons. If you're looking for a memorable night out in Vancouver, I highly recommend checking out the Queen Elizabeth Theatre. Whether you're a fan of music, theatre, dance, or comedy, this venue is sure to impress. I can't wait to attend another show there soon!

The Opera by Donizetti presented tonight was Don Pasquale and the whole evening sprung to life with outstanding performances and excellent staging ideas and completion on the stage…the Vancouver Opera Orchestra and the VancouverOpera Chorus brought the whole evening together into an intoxicating evening…The atmosphere was amazing..Each of the principal performers were deeply connected as a group…We particularly felt the fast paced unleasing of the arias released an incredible speed of the words and syllables(referred to as the cabaletta).I hope I described this correctly………….the October 2023 Opera that we attended is set in this Google Map report …The Magic Flute Opera at The Queen Elizabeth Theatre was very special..the performance was amazing and the Mozart stirring music made the entire evening very memorable.. each segment of the Opera revealing stellar costumes, high drama performances and very creative staging was met with audience applause and laughter…well done Vancouver Opera !

Having never been to this venue before I went to a concert prepared as I would be GM place. The crowd was mostly 50 - 80 years of age and we were all greeted at the entry by being wanded for weapons and then frisked for anything else. Expecting that refreshments would be cash only was a mistake! And they only sold the worst possible beer available "Red Truck" 🤮 When us old farts pulled out our phones to photograph our rock god from the 70s' the security guards would shine their flashlights not only at the guilty culprit but everyone else around them ruining the show for all. If I consider the cost of the venue, the hotel, the travel, the 2 lost days of work and being treated like a common criminal, it'll be a cold day in hell before I ever step foot in the Queen Elizabeth Theatre again!

My major gripe with this theatre is the terribly uncomfortable seats. I don't know if there is one consistent type of seat throughout the theatre, but the seat that I had on the balcony level was narrow, cramped, and the seat back ended at my midback. At 6'1 165 I wouldn't consider myself too large of a person, and as you can see from the picture, these toddler-esque seats are miniscule in size. This forced me to either sit straight up like a wooden plank, or hunch over on my knees like the hunchback of Notre Dame. This was my first time attending a concert at this theatre, and the discomfort from the seats really took away from my first experience listening to Tori Kelly.

Caught the legendary Joe Bonamassa last night at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre and was really impressed. Haven’t been to this venue for years and it’s gotten better. Parking was super easy in and out in the Theatre lot and for downtown Vancouver not a bad deal at $13.95. Staff was all beyond courteous, helpful and super pleasant to be around. Lineups were very well managed and the prices were reasonable for drinks. The show was outstanding, sound was great and the venue is second to none for live music. If one of your favourites is there definitely get tickets and go. We will be watching to see who’s playing and will definitely go back!

The site lines were good. The seats were comfortable enough. However the leg room is terrible. I am just over 5' 10" and I was starting to get leg cramps from having to scrunch my legs up. There is no room for any forward extension. Beverages and food are allowed in the theatre. Cup holders were on the backs of the chair ahead although were low and awkward to reach due to the lack of legroom. We were in row 10 of the center orchestra sitting dead center. I was distraught over the sound as it was very pingy on the treble clef voices. Very distracting when over engineering distracts from incredible singers. (Hades Town Nov 8.23)
