Auckland Town Hall

Auckland Town Hall is a prominent civic landmark of neo-Baroque style. Protected as a Category A heritage building, from 1994 to 1997 the building was fully restored, allowing the addition of modern amenities and re-establishing the building's standing as a multi-functional venue and world class performance hall.

Reviewed By ChristopherWaiheke - Waiheke Island, New Zealand

I heard a number of New Zealand Symphony Orchestra concerts here last year and intentionally sat in different parts of te hall to judge the acoustics. Except for seats directly above the orchestra,the sound was amazing. And the setting! A neo-Baroque style building built in 1911 and restored in 1997, it's pleasure to look at and a treat to be inside! The thunderous organ deserves a review of its own. Alas, the public can only see inside if they go to a concert (why no guided tours?) so go to a concert!! Upcoming shows on the Town Hall web-site.
