SUMMARY:Come From Away – The Smash-Hit Musical
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Tauranga Musical Theatre\nExperience the global phenomenon that has captured hearts around the world. \nCome From Away is based on the true story of the time when the isolated community of Gander\, Newfoundland\, played host to the world. What started as an average day in a small town turned into an international sleepover\, when 38 planes\, carrying thousands of people from around the globe\, were diverted to Gander’s airstrip on September 11\, 2001. Undaunted by culture clashes and language barriers\, the people of Gander cheered the stranded travelers with music\, an open bar and the recognition that we’re all part of a global family. \nSet to a vibrant Celtic-influenced score\, this award-winning musical takes audiences on an emotional\, exhilarating journey as an extraordinary true event unfolds through the eyes of ordinary people. What begins as a moment of international crisis becomes an inspiring tale of kindness\, humanity\, and the power of community. \nAfter its world premiere in 2015\, Come From Away made its Broadway debut in 2017\, earning critical acclaim and becoming one of Broadway’s most celebrated hits of the decade. It went on to play more than 1\,600 performances at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre and received a Tony Award\, six Olivier Awards\, and widespread international praise for its innovative storytelling and powerful message of unity. The show’s global presence resonates across all audiences as an uplifting reminder of humanity’s ability to come together\, no matter what the circumstances. \nJoin the thousands who have fallen in love with this extraordinary musical. Book your seats now and be part of the story that reminds us: even in the worst of times\, we see the best of humankind. \nOn Tuesday 28 April it’s Pay What You Can\, where you can choose your price to suit your budget.  \nFind out more

SUMMARY:Romance & Virtuosity
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Bay of Plenty Symphonia\nRomance and Virtuosity promises an afternoon of passion\, brilliance\, and orchestral colour when the Bay of Plenty Symphonia takes the stage on Sunday\, 3 May 2026 at 3pm at Holy Trinity Church\, Tauranga. Under the baton of its Music Director Michael Joel\, the orchestra presents a programme that blends dramatic power with lyrical beauty. \nThe concert opens with the fiery intensity of the Coriolan Overture by Ludwig van Beethoven. Inspired by the story of the Roman general Coriolanus\, the work is full of urgency and intensity\, contrasting turbulent power with moments of poignant reflection. \nThe spotlight then turns to acclaimed violinist Lara Hall performing the virtuosic Violin Concerto No. 5 by Belgian composer Henri Vieuxtemps. One of the great showpieces of the Romantic violin repertoire\, the concerto combines sweeping melodies with breathtaking technical brilliance. Hall\, who audiences will remember from her masterful performance of Beethoven’s Violin Concerto with the Symphonia in 2025\, has captivated audiences across New Zealand as both a soloist and chamber musician\, and her performance promises both flair and musical depth. \nHall then returns to perform the lyrical Romance for Violin and Orchestra by Antonín Dvořák\, a deeply expressive work that highlights the violin’s singing quality through warm\, flowing melodies and glowing orchestral colours.\nThe afternoon concludes with the vibrant energy of Symphony No. 2 by Beethoven. Full of wit\, rhythmic vitality\, and exuberant spirit\, this joyful symphony showcases the orchestra at its most lively and celebratory. \nFind out more

SUMMARY:Resurgence
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: New Zealand Symphony Orchestra\nMusic Director Emeritus James Judd and the NZSO perform a concert of well loved classics and a world premiere from Aotearoa New Zealand composer Anthony Ritchie. \nAnthony Ritchie World Premiere\nTchaikovsky Symphony No. 2 \nJessie Montgomery Strum\nBeethoven Symphony No. 7 \nMusic Director Emeritus James Judd and the NZSO perform three works that were well loved from their first performance\, and one new work that is sure to enjoy the same acclaim. \nBeethoven’s Seventh Symphony premiered to wildly ecstatic applause\, and its famous Allegretto funeral march was immediately encored. Tchaikovsky likewise enjoyed a rapturous reception for his Second Symphony. This symphony\, sometimes nicknamed Little Russian\, should really be nicknamed his Ukrainian Symphony\, given its loving use of Ukrainian folk tunes. Similarly\, New Yorker Jessie Montgomery alludes to folk and popular music in her work Strum — specifically Appalachian fiddle music and jazz — resulting in a piece that\, the composer writes\, “transforms into ecstatic celebration”. \nWe complete this exuberant programme with a new commission from Kiwi composer Anthony Ritchie\, who will undoubtedly add another musical gem to this concert of favourites. \nFind out more

SUMMARY:The Journey of Mataatua Whare & Beethoven’s Emperor Concerto
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Opus Orchestra\nOpus Orchestra will present a powerful programme of orchestral and vocal music this May\, pairing a major New Zealand opera by Dame Gillian Karawe Whitehead with one of Beethoven’s most exhilarating works. \nAt the heart of the concerts is The Journey of Mataatua Whare\, a moving opera in concert that tells the true story of the great wharenui Mataatua\, built in Whakatāne in 1875 by Ngāti Awa. Taken overseas without consent\, the wharenui spent decades travelling the world before finally returning home in 2011. \nThrough Whitehead’s distinctive musical language\, the opera explores themes of history\, identity\, loss and return. The work is presented in concert form and brought to life by three outstanding emerging New Zealand singers: soprano Katherine Winitana\, baritone Tomairangi Henare\, and bass Samuel McKeever. Each singer represents a different perspective within the story — Te Ao Māori\, the Pākehā world\, and the voice of the wharenui itself — giving the opera strong dramatic focus and emotional depth. The Waikato University Voice Programme Ensemble will join Opus Orchestra for the performances. \nThe programme is completed by Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 5\, the “Emperor” Concerto\, a work of heroic scale\, lyrical beauty and triumphant spirit. Celebrated New Zealand pianist Stephen De Pledge will appear as soloist\, bringing virtuosity and insight to this cornerstone of the concerto repertoire. \n“I am delighted to be making my debut with the orchestra of my ‘home’ region for this concert\,” says De Pledge. “The Emperor has long been a favourite concerto for me\, a magisterial and magical work that holds endless fascination. I’m looking forward to playing such a wonderful piece for audiences all over the region.” \nConducted by Peter Walls\, this concert brings together two contrasting yet complementary works to create a unique musical experience that reflects both local stories and universal human themes. \nProgramme:\nWhitehead: The Journey of Mataatua Whare\nBeethoven: Piano Concerto No. 5 “Emperor” \nArtists:\nConductor – Peter Walls\nPiano Soloist – Stephen De Pledge\nSingers – Katherine Winitana (soprano)\, Tomairangi Henare (baritone)\, Samuel McKeever (bass-baritone)\nChorus – Waikato University Voice Programme Ensemble \nFind out more

SUMMARY:Balloon Dog
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Indian Ink Theatre Company\nWould you open your door to a stranger? \nWhen a five year old girl befriends a lonely migrant worker her family unravels; opening them up to face uncomfortable truths about themselves… and the world beyond their front gate. \n1800s Calcutta becomes 21C Auckland in Indian Ink’s stage adaptation of one of India’s most-loved stories\, Kabuliwala. This beautifully tender tale reveals that we’re more alike than we think. \nOur award-winning creative team bring you all the things people love about Indian Ink: humour\, heart\, live music and pure theatrical magic. \nFind out more
