The Civic, one of the few remaining atmospheric theatres in the world, was built in 1929 and specifically designed as a 'movie palace' for talking pictures ('talkies'), which had just been introduced to New Zealand.
The first purpose-built cinema of this type in the country, The Civic has become a much-loved Auckland landmark and entertainment venue, with everything from world-class musicals, to well-known pop stars and the NZ International Film Festival all using this magnificent venue.
