Royal Wanganui Opera House

Built of wood in 1899, the Royal Wanganui Opera House is a gem of a building built in a style that would normally be used for a stone building. Appropriately, the New Zealand Opera School uses it for the final night of the school in a Gala Evening where all the students come together to sing their own chosen arias. Some of these they will have been honing to perfection through the week's tuition classes in front of audiences at the master classes with voice tutor Paul Farrington from London.
