Came here to see Boney M. Never been here before, great smaller venue with great acoustics. Lovely old building with ornate ceiling as well as large organ at the front. Main area is standing only with small balcony around the edge
Incredible experience, great atmosphere. Latina fiesta at civic square and Auckland Chorus concert at townhall. Lived every bit
Beautiful building, but appalling performance venue. Don't buy stall tickets, the seating is extremely uncomfortable. You'll probably spend the performance looking at the back of someone's head. Twice now I've missed everything on stage after a larger person has sat in front... No view whatsoever. Wouldn't be as bad if they actually made some effort to stagger the seats, but no. This really is a very poor venue.
Got to love the history of this place. Just styley. Nice that this venue is still utilised.
Loved the concert, the musical work was known intimately by us both, having performed it ourselves at least twice. The tenor playing Gerontius was particularly marvelous, being very secure in his words and notes. But he also imbued his performance with personal reverence and devotion to the role, he acted it as well as performed it. He was Gerontius. He felt all the old man's anguish and torment. Truly inspired.
