Orpheum Description
Known as the grand old lady of Granville Street, the magnificent Orpheum was built in 1927 as a “picture palace” for mega films like “Gone with the Wind” and as a stage for the vaudeville circuit. Dramatically ornate, the Orpheum features gilt ornamental plaster work, a painted dome ceiling, sparkling chandeliers and the original Wurlitzer organ.
Over the decades the theatre continued to mix live performance with movies until television and small rural cinemas made a 3,000-seat movie house impractical. When Famous Players tried to convert it into a modern movie complex, however, the city rallied and a “Save the Orpheum” campaign was launched. In 1974 the City bought the building and three years later in 1977 it was reopened, completely restored and refurbished, as a 2,780-seat concert hall. Later a new, larger lobby was added on to the building and in the mid 1990’s the theatre was acoustically upgraded.
