Kiri Te Kanawa Theatre, Aotea Centre
Kiri Te Kanawa Theatre has come a long way since hosting the boxing competition during the 1990 Commonwealth Games. Then called the ASB Theatre, the auditorium was the jewel in the crown of the brand-new Aotea Centre, opened that same year by famed New Zealand soprano Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, and for whom it was renamed in 2019.
Attracting huge international stars including Prince, Ed Sheeran, Russian soprano Anna Netrebko, and Tom Jones, to name a few, Kiri Te Kanawa Theatre is one of New Zealand’s largest tiered auditoriums, with seats for more than 2100 theatregoers.
