About the venue

The Regent Theatre opened on 1st June 1928 as a 2,000 seat cinema, and the interior is still elaborately decorated in a revived baroque style, characteristic of the super cinemas of the time. The design is a variation of Robert Atkinson’s for the 1921 Regent cinema in Brighton, England, which was demolished in 1974.
Now celebrating 50+ years, the Regent Theatre Trust of Otago continues to excel as custodian of Dunedin’s finest performing arts venue.
