City Recital Hall, Sydney
Theatre Venue Hire

2 Angel Place, Sydney CBD, 2000

In the heart of Sydney's bustling CBD, only steps away from Wynyard and Martin Place, sits City Recital Hall, conveniently hidden away in the city laneway of Angel Place Sydney.

During the day, Angel Place coaxes in business lunch diners and visitors looking to experience the gorgeous 'Forgotten Songs' birdcage installation. During the evening, Angel Place becomes closed to traffic, with restaurants stretching their trade onto the street and the nearby Ivy district getting the party started.

City Recital Hall underwent a substantial refurbishment, creating new foyers, bars and amenities throughout, with the addition of dressing rooms, Green Room and Function Room. Now celebrating 25 years, the acoustic jewel of the Sydney CBD is now available for private and corporate hire.

At 1238 seats across three levels, the City Recital Hall Auditorium suits a wide variety of music, talk, film, conference and party events.

For smaller events, the stalls can be used in isolation (609 pax seated) and the stalls seating can be removed for parties. The Auditorium also has a recording room with a sightline of the stage for Hirer’s wishing to record the performance.

The Auditorium can be used to screen movies, including those accompanied by live music and lighting effects. Auditorium hirers can activate all foyer and bar spaces depending on the function size.
