Description:
The majestic Winthrop Hall is the jewel in the crown of The University of Western Australia. Built in 1932, the cathedral-like venue welcomes patrons with a marble and mosaic foyer and vaulted ceilings. The auditorium with its splendid pipe organ combines stained glass windows and Aboriginal motifs on the ceiling. It seats 974 people in air-conditioned comfort. Winthrop Hall's bright acoustic is ideal for choral and classical music with the added option of a more intimate recital mode of seating for 674. It is also a superb venue for formal dinners and functions seating up to 420 people.
