The main auditorium seats approximately 5,272 people in its standard seated configuration.
For certain events, the capacity can rise up to about 5,900 when standing room is included on the arena floor.
Seating is organised in multiple levels: stalls/arena floor (depending on set-up), First Circle, Second Circle, Grand Tier (boxes), and Gallery.
The Hall’s oval shape places the audience relatively close to the action, and even seats at higher tiers feel immersed in the performance.
Recommended seats: The Stalls and mid-First Circle deliver the most balanced views and sound. The Grand Tier boxes add exclusivity and comfort. For those seeking value, the Gallery seats provide a bird’s-eye view of the grand auditorium.
