About the venue
The Orangeville Town Hall Opera House is managed by Theatre Orangeville on behalf of the Town of Orangeville.
Originally built in 1875, the Opera House on the second floor of the Orangeville Town Hall was fully restored in 1993—and a dream was born. Under the leadership of founding Artistic Director Jim Betts, Theatre Orangeville opened its first season in 1994.
After nearly 20 years of professional productions, it was further renovated in 2013, focusing on increasing accessibility and updating the infrastructure.
The Opera House features:
- Excellent acoustics and visibility from every seat

- Superb sound system and full complement of microphones
- Professional lighting equipment and inventory
- High-efficiency LED lighting fixtures
- Air-conditioning
- Dressing rooms
