The James Hay Theatre is the smaller of two theatrers situated in the Christchurch Town Hall for Performing Arts, built in the 1970s. Fan-shaped in design, it seats around 1000, and has a lovely, intimate acoustic ideal for theatrical productions and chamber recitals. Regular users include Chamber Music New Zealand, Christchurch Operatic and Canterbury Opera. The Town Hall also has excellent facilities, including conference rooms, and a restaurant and café where performers often gather after the show. Call for program details.
