A modern theatre with 19th century flare
The Princess of Wales Theatre is truly a remarkable structure. Built on a tiny plot of downtown property, the theatre marries modern elements with traditional style. To do this, architect Peter Smith created a horseshoe-shaped, two-balcony seating plan, complete with three levels of audience seating: the orchestra, dress circle and balcony. Toronto car hire travelers are never more than 85 feet from the stage inside the theatre, regardless of which level they're seated in. Excellent sight-lines and near perfect acoustics combine to create an unbelievable audience experience inside the theatre, but don't take TransCanada Toronto Car Hire's word for it; visit the Princess of Wales Theatre and see for yourself during your upcoming Toronto getaway.
