Royal Lyceum was a live theatre and opera house in Toronto, Canada West (later Ontario), Canada. Built in 1848, it was the first purpose-built live theatre venue in the town. Beginning in the 1860s, it housed Toronto's first opera company, that of George Holman, who also managed the theatre. It burnt down in 1874 and was rebuilt as the Royal Opera House, eventually being finally destroyed by fire in 1883. Its address was 99+1⁄2 King Street West between Bay Street and York Street on the south side of the street. The hall was accessed by Theatre Lane, as the actual hall was one block south, on Wellington Street. The location is now the site of the Toronto-Dominion Centre.
