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.

City Recital Hall was purpose-built in 1999 as the city’s premiere venue for classical sound, both amplified and acoustic. In 2023 an industry-leading d&b audiotechnik XSL Soundscape Audio System was installed, propelling Angel Place into the pop, rock, folk and electronic market and yes, the odd rave…..

Leah Kid Bucket List

I had no idea the Sydney Recital Hall even existed—until we mistakenly parked at the Opera House for a Sydney Symphony performance and had to make a mad dash uphill to the actual venue! Thankfully, the staff at the Hall were calm, attentive, and incredibly helpful. Even though we arrived late, they guided us on when and how to enter without disrupting the performance. The venue offers drinks, ice cream, and light snacks, which added a nice touch. The seats are a little on the firm side, but the acoustics are excellent and the layout ensures a clear view from almost anywhere in the hall. A beautiful, intimate venue worth discovering—just double-check your tickets first!

We gathered for Mozart's Clarinet performance 🎼🎷 featuring a breathtaking trio of a pianist 🎹, cheloist 🎻 and clarinettist 🎶 playing some of Mozart's best works 👑🪄✨ 🎵 The clarinettist—my word—was a revelation 😮👏. Such breath control 😮‍💨, such lyricism 🎼💫! The instrument practically wept 😢 in joy and sorrow 🕊️🎶. The venue itself, the Sydney Recital Hall 🏛️🎟️, continues to be a beacon of cultural excellence 🇦🇺🌟. Entry was seamless 🚶‍♂️🚪, The theatre’s acoustics were absolutely marvellous 🎧💯—each note rang out crystal clear 💎🎶, like silver bells on a frosty morning 🔔❄️🎼. Admittedly, the fire safety stairwell 🚨🧯 did smell a bit peculiar 🤨 something between damp carpet 🧼🧽 and burnt toast 🍞🔥 but the graffiti art 🎨🖌️, waz Koolio 😎🎉 Once inside, the hall opened up like a warm embrace 🤗✨. Plush seating 🪑, grand archways 🏰, and a soft golden glow 💡🌟 filled the room with elegance 👒🎻🕯️. Fr tho 💯 overall very nice clean hall 🧼🧹 they got some cinema price snacks 🍿🥤 and ngl tbh stmo 🤝

I came here for an orchestra night. The place is very nice and glamorous. The sound system here is very good, you can feel so relaxed with the music played by the orchestra group. The place is easy to get access to by public transport. Very easy to find with google map. All the staff are friendly and very well-organised.

Amazing Venue for Live Music Went to the City Recital Hall in Sydney to see SAFIA perform and was really impressed. The acoustics were spot on and made the whole show feel extra special. It’s in a great central location too, which made getting there super easy. Would definitely go back for another gig.

City Recital Hall is one of the best spots in Sydney for all sorts of performative culture. From classical to choral music to live electronic music and raves.
