The architecture on the building which houses the Oamaru Opera House in Otago, New Zealand shows off its Victorian beauty in the historic precinct.

The Victorian architecture on the historic building which is home to the Opera House in Oamaru, Otago on the South Island of New Zealand, dates back to 1907. Built from Oamaru "Whitestone", the building is two stories high and was a common architecture design for many of the heritage places around the historic precinct of Oamaru. John Megget Forrester was the creator of the Opera House which is located along Thames Street in downtown Oamaru.

Restorations have been done to the Opera House over the last few years and it now houses a 500 seat theatre, conference events and a black box theatre. This Victorian building is one of the most noteworthy places in Oamaru's heritage and brings out the true heart, soul and passion of this town.
