Main Hall

Dr Enrico Taglietti’s penchant for fusing functionality and comfort to please performers and audiences alike.
The hall is 18m x 11m in size with an elevated stage and a stepped ceiling. It has original parquetry floors, stage drapes and timber accents preserving the club’s original character.
