"Why do we keep letting live nation take over every single venue ever. Am I missing any? A near-monopoly of large-capacity venues in the city. LiveNation now owns the Velvet, Opera House, The Danforth, History, and Bud Stage/Echo Beach. This morning I see on It has been sold to #livenation am wondering if the venue cared for Live music, or Livenation more? This is a sad day not only for the City of #Toronto, But for #canadianmusic /xmvdsXlbWQĭespite being such an iconic spot with a storied history (and a fancy name), the Opera House is one of the few spots you can catch a cheaper show in the city, and under an original proscenium arch, no less.įans are fearing the loss of inexpensive shows and of the spot's friendly feel, and worried about potentially negative consequences for musicians playing the venue, too, especially financially with a bigger player in charge. In 2021, The GM of Toronto's beloved The Opera House in #Ontario posted this pic. Located on Queen Street just east of Broadview, the 900 square-foot stage has hosted greats such as Nirvana, Metallica, Maroon 5 and the Black Eyed Peas over the years.īut now, many are worried that the takeover by Live Nation will mean the end to all that people loved about the venue. Opened first as a cinema in 1909, the Opera House has been a staple for all types of live performances in the city, and was one of the few independently-owned, mid-sized sites of its kind - that is, before it was bought out by Live Nation this week. A long-running live music venue in a historic Toronto building has just been sold, and though the new owners are thrilled to add the theatre to its "portfolio," it doesn't seem that a single member of the public is pleased with the acquisition.
