Viewing: Photo | Street View

Located on the corner of Queen Street and Wellesley Street in Aukland city centre. Built in 1929, this Atmospheric style theatre showed movies exclusively between 1975 and 1998.

In 1999, as part of an extensive renovation, the theater’s second screen was converted to a cabaret. Additionally, the second screen was enlarged to accomodate plays, opera, ballet, etc.
