2 Best Performing Arts Venues in Vancouver, British Columbia
Most major music acts make a stop in Vancouver when they're on tour, so international celebrity shows complement a packed calendar of rising local bands and performing arts. Vancouver has plenty of film festivals, cutting-edge theater, comedy, opera, and ballet amid its artistic offerings, with many companies resident in town. The added frisson of celebrity sightings are common thanks to the city's ever-strong film and TV industry (aka "Hollywood North").
Vancouver Opera
Stepping away from a season of performances, the city's opera company stages occasional works plus a three-week festival in May at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre and plaza.
