This Auckland Council-funded gallery is off-the-beaten art track in the Otara Town Centre, but it's well worth visiting for the extraordinary work it shows. Emerging artists, many from the Pacific, test boundaries not only in materials used, but also with content and techniques. The space is also used by the South Auckland Poets' Collective for performance poetry that plays to packed houses.
Auckland's main venue for the performing arts and medium-size conferences is in the center of the city and often mounts free art exhibitions in its public spaces. There is a good café on the steps leading into the main foyer. The New Zealand Opera performs three annual main-stage seasons here, accompanied by either the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra or the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra. Check the website to find out what's on.
The New Zealand Symphony and Auckland Philharmonia Orchestras perform here in the Great Hall, which holds up to 1,529 people on three levels. Some say it has some of the finest acoustics in the world. It also features the largest musical instrument in the country, the Town Hall Organ. More intimate concerts take place in the Concert Chamber. Check the website for the latest concert schedule.
This theater hosts many performances by international touring companies and artists. Check the website for the most up to date schedule.
This is the central ticket agency for all theater, music, and dance performances, as well as for major sporting events and it advertises its content months ahead of time. It offers a smart phone app and tickets are delivered by app, email, or collection at the venue.
