City Hall viewed from the stage, Brisbane, 1931

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  Brisbane City Hall is one of Brisbane’s most iconic heritage-listed venues, having hosted countless events of all sizes over the years. Its opulence comes from the sweeping marble staircases, vaulted ceilings, chandeliers, and mosaic-tiled floor, and with 14 function spaces on offer, it is the ideal setting for hosting all styles of events, from small business meetings to 1,500 guests for a gala or concert. The Main Auditorium is an ideal venue space for large-scale gala events, ceremonies, concerts, exhibitions, conferences, weddings and performances. The Ithaca Auditorium is a large room that is an ideal setting for medium-sized events such as concerts, recitals, theatrical performances, presentations, conferences, gala dinners and ceremonies.

Len Todd's Australian Concert Party, 1940-1945

  In the 1940s Brisbane was just a big country town and the thousands of Australian and American servicemen who suddenly poured into the camps and bases around the city and the other major centres provided an audience for mass entertainment and gave the experience a new intensity, whether it was ballroom dancing at Cloudland, cutting a rug at the Trocadero or enjoying vaudeville at the Cremorne.
