This is the Oamaru Opera House which has an evening light show. The color from the outside floodlights change every few seconds. This is a bit of history: The originally named Oamaru Municipal Town Hall and Opera House was officially opened on 7 October 1907. Designed for the Oamaru Borough Council by Oamaru architect John Megget Forrester, building contractors Henry Winsley and Sons won the tender to build this most elegant two storey Oamaru stone structure for a final cost of £10,600.
