Kanazawa Theatre

Kanazawa Theatre, Music venue in Kanazawa, Japan.

Kanazawa Theatre is a multipurpose hall in Shimohonda-machi, Kanazawa, opened in 1962 and renamed from Kanazawa City Kanko Kaikan in 2007. Its main hall seats 1,919 over two tiers, and the building also holds a large assembly room, a large practice room, ten meeting rooms and an exhibition room. The photograph shows a light-beige facade with a deep portico of tall white square pillars, dark glass windows behind them, and a flat roof with a thin metal railing.

Built on the site of the former Kanazawa City Electric and Gas Bureau, the hall opened in 1962 as the Kanazawa City Tourist Hall, funded by Hokuriku Electric Power as compensation for the city giving up its public electricity service. It was renamed Kanazawa Theatre on 1 October 2007 after debate over its misleading name. A seismic retrofit was completed by December 2010.

Each year the hall hosts a citizen performance of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony with Chidori, whose choir is recruited every spring and rehearses for half a year with the Ishikawa Philharmonic Orchestra. Since 1971, primary school children from the city have also sung alongside that orchestra in the Orchestra and Boys and Girls concert.

The venue is walkable from the city center and has elevators and stairs throughout for easy movement. Check ahead online for current performance schedules and event information before planning a visit.

The hall seats 1,919 people across two tiers and was named one of Japan's 100 Good Halls in November 2020, certified on 1 December. It stands on the site of the former Kanazawa city electricity and gas bureau, and Hokuriku Electric Power covered the construction cost as compensation for the city giving up its wartime power supply business.
