Built in the 50s, opened in the 60s, the Sony Centre for The Performing Arts has since hosted a huge variety of shows ranging from Broadway productions and operas to live concerts, stand-up shows, ballets and so on.  Back in the 60s, the venue was known as the O’Keefe Centre. It is one of the most talked about works of designer, Peter Dickinson. The place is known for some of its unique features such as the marquee canopy and York Wilson’s lobby mural referred to as The Seven Lively Arts.

The first ever show that took place at the venue was the Broadway premiere of Lerner and Loewe’s Camelot. The city of Toronto is proud to own such a magnificent center for the performing arts. In the late 90s, the name was changed to Hummingbird Centre and after a decade long tenure of showcasing extraordinary events, the venue was shut down for up gradations in 2008.

Wood, brass and marble were all refurbished and lobby spaces were reconfigured, flooring was done all over again, new washrooms were built and the seating areas were made even more comfortable and convenient for the attendees. Finally, on 1st October 2010 now known as the Sony Centre for The Performing Arts, opened its gates and has since continued to entertain the audiences.
