A message from OoH Director


Due to the Christchurch Earthquake the South Island Leg of the Micheal Jackson Tour has been postponed. This includes the intended performance at the Oamaru Opera House on March 5th 2011.

We appreciate the inconvenience postponements of shows create but also acknowledge this is trivial compared to what many of our friends, relatives and industry partners are currently facing in Christchurch at this time.

TicketDirect Oamaru will we offering full refunds for the Micheal Jackson History performance or ticket holders can keep their tickets and transfer them to the later date.

Showtime Australia who is the promoter for this event is based in Queensland and has been working tirelessly to piece together information about Christchurch, its theatres and infrastructure whilst also being respectful that the priority for those in Christchurch right now is about the rescue and safety of people. At this time new dates have not been confirmed, an announcement will be made as soon as this information becomes available. We thank you in advance for your patience.

The Oamaru Opera House and TicketDirect Oamaru wish to take this opportunity to extend condolences to those affected by loss and grief and commend those who are at this time working to support the region.

Richard McWha
Director, Oamaru Opera House

What a Start!!!

Wow! I am exhausted and the year has only just started. The OoH is kicking off 2011 with an explosion of events. Preceding a successful year in 2010 The Ooh is positive that 2011 will be bigger and better. It is already shaping up to be that way. The first of many conferences for 2011 booked is for The Australian and New Zealand Geomorphology Group. They are due to arrive around January the 3oth and stay for a week. Fantastic shows on the way in February including Will Martin and A Night of the Proms. 2011 is filling up with other shows including, Nick Jr’s Dora the explorer live, Tutus on Tour, Michael Jackson HIStory, Party Girls, Dirty Dusting, Steampunk and more.


On everyone's lips at the moment is Stan Walker, the secret was leaked last week with loads of people making enquiries. Tickets will go on sale to the general public at 9am on Monaday January 24th. Stan was the winner of four categories at the 2010 NZ Music Awards, taking home
"Tuis" for International Achievement, Highest Selling NZ Single, NZ On Air Radio Airplay Record of the Year and the coveted People's Choice award. Stan will be bringing his band to NZ for the first time and is excited at the prospect
of playing in these fantastic theatres. 'It's going to be a blast' says Stan.
