The Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts is a 2,071-seat theatre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, located at the southeast corner of University Avenue and Queen Street West, across from Osgoode Hall.

After a new Ontario New Democratic Party (NDP) provincial government under Bob Rae was elected in 1990, inheriting a large deficit because of a recession, the CA$311 million project was deemed excessively costly.

When the opera house corporation refused to modify the design to lower costs, the government withdrew its funding commitment two months after the election.

Two towers in the "Opera Place I and II" development have been built on Bay Street (1998), but as of June 2011, the rest of the property remained vacant until the Teahouse Condo was completed in 2020.

[needs update] In 1997, the province allocated a parking lot, which previously housed offices for the Supreme Court of Ontario at Queen and University, for the project.

The original plan called for a 190 m (620 ft) tower of offices and condominiums to be built by Olympia and York which would help fund the project.

The company had secured a CA$20 million donation from the Four Seasons hotel chain in exchange for perpetual naming rights to the complex.

The solid, massive eastern facade broken only by horizontal windows, in contrast, blends into its office building and brick surroundings, towards York Street.

John Bentley Mays states in his 2006 Canadian Architect article that East wall is "unresponsive to the need of vitality on the street."

The southern, Richmond Street facade, also plain brick punctuated by dressing room windows, is opposite the Hilton Hotel.
