PATRICIA’S STORY Along with her husband Eugene Levy, Deborah Divine wanted to create a permanent legacy for her mother whose extraordinary voice once filled the halls of The Royal Conservatory. They decided to name a seat in Koerner Hall in honour of Patricia Divine on the occasion of her 80th birthday – the perfect way to ensure that her inspiring talent and passion would be forever remembered in the building where she found so much joy.
The Weston Family Box Office ticket counter is at two heights to accommodate people in wheelchairs. Koerner Hall, Mazzoleni Concert Hall, and the Conservatory Theatre all feature spaces for wheelchairs. Inquire at the box office about our accessibility discount for patrons requiring the assistance of a support person. Children under five years old are not permitted into concerts.
