Orillia Opera House

The Orillia Opera House is a historic building in the city of Orillia, Ontario, Canada. It has been listed as a historic property under the Ontario Heritage Act. History The Richardsonian Romanesque building was built in 1895, replacing the first permanent town hall built in 1874, to house Orillia City Council and the local jail. The original structure was designed by Toronto architecture firm Gordon & Helliwell and completed in 1895. A fire in 1915 destroyed much of the building and was rebuilt (with plans from Burke, Horwood and White) less the south tower when it re-opened in 1917. The rebuilt structure retains Richardsonian Romanesque style. A new front entrance was completed in 1958. The building's interior consisted of Council chambers, a 905-seat auditorium, city hall offices, library, market stalls and jail. Orillia City Council vacated in 1997 and Orillia Opera became the sole tenant in the building. Gordon Lightfoot Auditorium The 700 seat auditorium served as a movie house from the 1920s to the late 1950s. In October, 1997, it was renamed in honour of local legend Gordon Lightfoot who had performed there since he was a child. Past performers The Orillia Opera House has featured such artists as the Marx Brothers, Glenn Gould, Oscar Peterson, K.D. Lang, Mickey Rooney, Dan Hill, Liona Boyd, Blue Rodeo, Gerry Dee, Ron James, Lighthouse, The Stampeders, David Clayton Thomas, Bruce Cockburn and Gordon Lightfoot.

Royal Cinema

The Royal Cinema is an Art Moderne event venue and cinema in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It was built in 1939 and owned by Miss Ray Levinsky. When it was built in 1939, it was called The Pylon, with an accompanying large sign at the front of the theatre. It included a roller-skating rink at the rear of the theatre, and a dance hall on the second floor. In the 1950s, the theatre was purchased by Rocco Mastrangelo. In the 1990s, the theatre was renamed The Golden Princess. Since early 2007, Theatre D has owned and operated The Royal. During the daytime, it operates as a film and television post-production studio. It hosts film festivals, including the European Union Film Festival, Caribbean Tales International Film Festival and Japanese Movie Week. The Royal is featured in the 2013 film The F Word, the 2011 film Take This Waltz, and the 2022 film Tehranto. See also List of cinemas in Toronto References
Роял Сінема

Роял Сінема (англ. The Royal Cinema) — це кінозал у стилі стримлайн-модерн та багатофункціональний простір для проведення заходів, розташований за адресою: Клінтон-авенью, Літл Італі, Торонто, Онтаріо, Канада. Історія та походження назви Будівлю було зведено у жовтні 1939 році з ініціативи відомої піонерки канадського кінематографу міс Рей Левінскі. Архітектором театру був Бенджамін Шварц, який спроектував стару лікарню Маунт-Сінай на Йорквіль-авеню, а також багато будинків, фабрик і житлових будинків по всьому Торонто. Фасад другого поверху прикрашений пілястрами у стилі стримлайн-модерн, виконаними з тесаної цегли чи каменю, з характерним ступінчастим завершенням. Між ними було встановлені вікна другого поверху. Сьогодні театр зберіг свій оригінальний шатер, хоча вивіску над ним було змінено. Після завершення процесу будування споруда носила назву Toronto Pylon Theatre. Причина вибору назви Пілон невідома, але існує припущення, що у стародавньому Єгипті так називали вхід у великий храм. Таким чином Рей Левінскі хотіла надати відвідувачам відчуття перебування у значущому місці. Окрім кіносеансів, тут також функціонували роликовий каток у задній частині будівлі та танцювальний зал на другому поверсі. Наприкінці 1950-х кінотеатр придбав власник бару Cafe Diplomatico на Коледж-стріт - Рокко Мастранжело. Після цього тут почали показувати переважно італійські кіно-стрічки. Після ребрендингу та зміни назви на «Золоту принцесу» (The Golden Princess), у кінотеатрі почався показ азіатських фільмів. У 1997 році через загрозу знесення будівлі компанія Festival Cinema викупила кінотеатр, витративши 200.000 доларів на ремонт та перейменувавши його на The Royal Cinema. У 2005 році The Royal Cinema стала об'єктом культурної спадщини Торонто. Сьогодення Однак поступове зниження відвідуваності призвело до закриття кінотеатру. У грудні 2007 року його викупила компанія Theatre D за 2,2 мільйона доларів. Вже 15 грудня театр у стилі арт-деко відновив свою вечірню програму показом стрічки «Війна мавп» режисера Реджа Харкеми. У межах реконструкції компанія Theatre D облаштувала чотири монтажні кімнати, нову проекційну кабіну, оновила акустичну систему до формату 5.1 та повернула фойє вигляд, наближений до його оригінального стилю 1939 року. Під час ремонту, поряд із відновленням мозаїчної плитки, робітники виявили відбитки в бетоні та автограф британської акторки Анни Нігл, яка зіграла королеву Вікторію у фільмі «Вікторія Велика» (1937). Нині Роял Сінема функціонує як студія постпродакшену для кіно- та телевізійних проектів. У приміщенні регулярно проходять кінофестивалі, зокрема Кінофестиваль Європейського Союзу, Міжнародний кінофестиваль «Карибські історії» та Тиждень японського кіно. Крім того, будівля театру з'являється у кількох кінострічках, серед яких ірландсько-канадський фільм «Дружба і ніякого сексу?» (2013) та «Любить чи не любить?» (2011).

St. Paul's Presbyterian Church (Hamilton, Ontario)

St Paul's Presbyterian Church, Hamilton is a congregation of the Presbyterian Church in Canada located at the city centre of Hamilton, Ontario. The church building, designed by renowned architect William Thomas, is federally designated as a National Historic Site in Canada and provincially designated by the province of Ontario as a heritage site under the Ontario Heritage Act. History The congregation was founded by Scottish immigrants in 1830, originally named St. Andrew's. The name was changed to St. Paul's in 1873. The building was constructed over four years, from 1854 to 1857. The choir at the west end of St Paul's was extended in 1909, designed by Hugh Vallance. The building was designated a National Historic Site in 1990. Building features The church building was designed by William Thomas (architect) in the style of English Gothic Revival. The building's exterior is grey limestone which comes for the most part from local Hamilton quarries by stonemason George Worthington. Many windows are adorned with Gothic tracery. The sanctuary is made of dark wood. There is a chancel with rich foliage sculptures on the capitals. The church yard includes a small cemetery. Architectural historian Marion MacRae assessed the building as "the best Decorated Gothic Revival Church in Ontario." Steeple The church has a single steeple made entirely of stone which rises to a height of 180 feet. The top of the parapet line is at 100 feet, at which point it almost imperceptibly reduces itself into an octagonal spire with lucarnes on alternate sides. The tower and spire display medieval details from the Middle Pointed or Decorated phase of English Gothic (late 13th to early 14th century), including twin, pointed belfry openings on each side of the tower. The corners of the tower are reinforced with buttresses at right angles to the walls. There are narrow angle turrets each with their own delicate spire adorned with crockets and a finial at the top. It is the largest entirely stone steeple in Canada. Bells The chimes are eleven bells weighing in total 9,873 pounds (4,478 kg), ranging in size from the smallest at 300 pounds (140 kg) to the largest bell at 2,100 pounds (950 kg). The bells were used first on Sunday, 11 November 1906. The bells are functional and are played every Sunday morning and on special occasions. Cross On the south-east yard the Cross of Sacrifice, a large Celtic cross, was erected in 1921 as a war memorial. It was carved in Scotland and is similar to the ancient crosses in Iona. The arms of the Cross are truncated and the column tapers from its base to the apex. A circle symbolical of a crown or wreath surrounds the arms. Services and events The church provides services of worship Sunday mornings and on other special occasions, including weddings. The church participates in the annual "Doors Open" event, a citywide weekend-long event in the autumn which permits tours of historical buildings of Hamilton.

Union Building, Toronto

The Union Building is an older building in Toronto that has been described as an "architectural gem". When it was built, in 1908, on the Northwest corner of King and Simcoe streets, it was directly across from the palatial official residence of the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario. The six story structure was built on a site that was originally part of the home of Upper Canada College. The building was designed by the firm Darling and Pearson, and was originally known as the Canadian General Electric Company Building. A seventh floor and copper clad mansard roof was added in the 1980s. In 2010 City of Toronto government staff recommended the building be granted heritage protection under the Ontario Heritage Act. The building had been listed on the City's Inventory of Heritage Properties since 2007. In December 2020, a 310-metre (1,020 ft) high addition to the Union Building was proposed with a planned completion date of 2026. If it is built, it will become one of the tallest buildings in Canada. References External links Media related to 212 King Street West, Toronto at Wikimedia Commons

Nissan

Nissan (japonsky 日産自動車株式会社, Nissan Džidóša kabušiki gaiša) je japonská automobilová značka, jejíž původní název zněl Datsun. V dnešní době patří mezi jedny z nejproduktivnějších a zároveň největších značek v Japonsku. V rámci aliance Renault–Nissan–Mitsubishi spolupracuje Nissan s těmito značkami na vývoji a výrobě řady modelů. Historie V roce 1911 byla v Tokiu založena firma „Kaishinsha Motocar Works“. V roce 1914 postavila svůj první osobní automobil „DAT“, pojmenovaný podle iniciál příjmení tří zakladatelů firmy – Den, Aoyama a Takeuchi. Roku 1918 se firma přejmenovala z „Kaishinsha Motocar Co.“ na „DAT Motocar Co.“. Později se k tomuto novému názvu přidalo SUN, takže vznikl „DATSUN“. Datsun pro výrobu svých vozů založila novou firmu „Nissan Motor Co.“, která posléze propůjčila svůj název automobilům NISSAN. Během 2. světové války byla výroba Nissanu pozastavena, ale poměrně brzo po jejím konci obnovena, již v listopadu 1945. Automobily Datsun slavily velký úspěch v Americe, menší však v Evropě, kde se tyto sportovní typy vozů prodávaly o dost méně. Vedení automobilky proto vložilo do evropského programu velkou finanční částku. Zlomovým rokem bylo postavení továrny v britském Sunderlandu v roce 1984. Nissan upřednostňuje zdokonalování technické části vozidel; jejich prioritami jsou motor, převodovka a podvozek. V roce 1999 zachránil Renault potápějící se Nissan, ve kterém vlastní přes 40 % akcií. Po vypuknutí krize v roce 2008 naopak Nissan svému aliančnímu partnerovi pomohl vytvořit zisk. Tyto dvě automobilky společně vyvíjejí podvozky a benzinové motory. Nissan se také zaměřuje na vývoj elektrických vozů. V roce 2010 začala automobilka vyrábět elektromobil Nissan Leaf, kterého se vyrobilo přes 300 000 kusů. V roce 2018 dostal Nissan Leaf novou baterii s kapacitou 40 kWh, která řidiči nabízí dojezd až 270 km podle WLTP metodiky. V roce 2025 firma zahájila program rozsáhlých úspor.
