Auditorium
A tiered-seat theatre, the Te Pae Auditorium is suitable for a variety of presentations, keynotes or live performances. Our auditorium merges modern technology and audio-visual capabilities, with beautiful, innovative design to create a comfortable plenary with world-class acoustics.
Adaptable for both plenary sessions and entertainment, this theatre comfortably accommodates 1,364 fixed seats in tiered seating formation. The auditorium can also be split into two independently autonomous spaces of 682 seats with proven sound division and separate AV capabilities. It is an adaptable and flexible space equipped with state-of-the art technology and rigging facilities and backs directly onto the venues loading dock for easy loading and setup.
Not only a functional operating theatre, this is also a beautiful space. The interior of the auditorium draws inspiration from Te Waihora (Lake Ellesmere). A fluid, back-lit blue-ribbon wraps around the space, reflecting the vibrancy and life which exists within the undulating waterways and rivers. The design also connects the earth and sky, by folding up and across the ceiling of the auditorium.
