For anyone staying in Toronto, a visit to the Roy Thomson Hall is an ideal way to see some of the city’s best in live music.

Located along Simcoe Street, Roy Thomson Hall is an outstanding venue, with crystal clear acoustics that more than make up for the building’s external aesthetic shortcomings.

Having said that however, the visual effects created from the external glass paneling are more than good enough to deserve a call home.

"Roy Thomson Hall opened in the fall of 1982 and has since hosted hundreds of world-renowned artists and performers over the years," said the hall’s website.

"Despite this building’s resemblance to an alien mother ship, it boasts some of the best acoustics in the city, thanks to a recent state-of-the-art renovation," added the Economist.

Among the best performances are those by the Mendelssohn Choir and the Toronto Symphony Orchestra.
