We are almost halfway through 2010 and after the brilliant Showbiz production of "Joseph..." last month we are gearing up for a busy June/July and packed second half of the year.

You'll hear more about that in the weeks to come, but for now we bring you three World Class events with great offers...

SHINE ON...
THE BRILLIANCE OF DAVID HELFGOTT

23 November 2010, 7.30pm

David Helfgott is one of the world’s best loved pianists.

His remarkable life story was the subject of the Oscar-winning film 'SHINE', which won a Best Actor Award for Geoffrey Rush for his astonishingly accurate performance. David Helfgott will perform ONE ONLY recital at ITR on Tuesday 23rd November with a virtuosic program of popular works by the great romantic composers including Chopin, Liszt, Mendelssohn, Rachmaninov and, of course, Rimsky-Korsakov’s 'Flight of the Bumblebee', with which he dazzled a worldwide audience at the 1997 Oscars Ceremony.

 

 

As a Royal Friend you can get in first - the exclusive presale starts on 1st June.

(Adult price $67.50 (excluding booking fees), Schoolchildren save over 50%, Concessions for Seniors, Unwaged & Tertiary Student available)

“A pianist of extraordinary talent….he soars into another dimension” Courier Mail

“I am reluctant to use the word genius, but I would certainly make an exception with David Helfgott” Le Parisien

IAN MCKELLEN RETURNS TO NZ IN WAITING FOR GODOT

13 & 14 July @ 7.30pm, 14 July @ 1pm

"The theatrical event of the year" Daily Express (UK)

Acclaimed British theatre star Sir Ian McKellen returns to NZ in July for a very limited season of the award-winning production of Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot starring McKellen (Estragon), Roger Rees (Vladimir), Matthew Kelly (Pozzo) and Michael Burrell (Lucky).

Sir Ian is best known in NZ as Gandalf in Peter’s Jackson’s Academy Award-winning Lord of the Rings trilogy. In Samuel Beckett's play, two old friends meet to converse, joke and argue with themselves as they wait for the mysterious Godot. Following its record-breaking West End season last year Waiting for Godot is accepted as one of the most significant plays of the 20th century. We are delighted to present it at the ITR on July 13 and 14 for three performances only and the following offers are now available:
