From the
spiraling glass cone to the curvilinear marble staircase,
The Centre is an architectural kaleidoscope.
The Auditorium
offers 1,821-1,858 lush purple velvet seats with uncompromising
sightlines and impeccable acoustics. It is complimented by
the stage that measures 102 feet wide by 52 feet deep and
can accommodate 87 line-sets. Audiences will find themselves
enveloped in a modern but ageless facility.
Built
in 1995, The Centre was originally named the Ford Centre for
Performing Arts. During its tenure as Vancouver's premier
performing arts facility, leading Broadway productions were
showcased. Among others, patrons enjoyed Showboat, Sunset
Boulevard, Phantom of the Opera, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor
Dreamcoat, Riverdance, and Ragtime.
