AUCKLAND, New Zealand—Gateway to the rest of New Zealand, Auckland is built on an isthmus, and so almost completely circled by coastal waters. One of Auckland’s most well known features, though, is the Sky Tower, which is the tallest free standing building in the Southern Hemisphere. It’s the place most visitors head to for a magnificent view of Auckland and its harbours.
In contrast is Auckland’s iconic Civic Theatre, originally built as an ‘atmospheric’ picture house. The inside of the theatre is an interesting blend of domed ceilings, buddhas and large twisted columns whose concept draws from Indian architecture
Tonight the Civic Theatre opened its doors for Shen Yun Performing Arts Touring Company, the New York-based classical Chinese dance and music company which was showing for the sixth time in Auckland.
