Palace Cinemas has announces that it will open a new ten-screen cinema in Sydney’s Double Bay.
The move is in line with two other redevelopments in New South Wales for Palace Verona and Palace Byron Bay. For Verona, all existing seats will be replaced with a more luxurious chair by December 2016 and by Easter 2017, there will be a brand new auditoria, with plans to add more bringing the total to eight by December 2017. Palace Byron Bay will reopen in 2018 as a reimagined, sustainable, nine-screen complex. Each development will create 30+ local employment opportunities for Novocastrians.
“We’re thrilled to be bringing a state-of-the-art cinema to Double Bay and doing our part to help revitalise the local arts scene in this fantastic Sydney suburb. As is our standard, the cinemas will offer our customers the broadest choice of quality mainstream films and international film festivals in luxurious, stylish and sustainably built places”, said Benjamin Zeccola, Palace Cinemas’ CEO.
Palace’s trademark and much-loved collection of international film festivals will feature prominently at both locations, bringing with them the best of contemporary and classic cinema from Italy, Spain, France, Britain, Latin America, Germany, and Scandinavia. The well-attended program of stage-to-screen content will also feature regularly including operas and ballets from the foremost companies of the world, including Covent Garden, La Scala, Bolshoi Ballet, Opera D’Italia and National Theatre, and concert events.
The timetable for reopening will be shared with the community as soon as plans are finalised and Palace Cinemas looks forward to offering patrons a sublime entertainment and hospitality experience at the home of quality cinema in Australia.
