One of Bates' most acclaimed buildings, the Opera House's acoustics have been described as some of the best in New Zealand.
Now renamed TSB Showplace, the complex was upgraded and substantial additions made in 1997-98.
The Opera House was built on the site of the Theatre Royal which, along with many other buildings on the block, was destroyed by fire on 22 July 1916 (See Images below)
