Wellington's historic St James Theatre reopens today after earthquake restrengthening that began three years ago. The Category One Heritage building in Courtenay Place was built in 1912 and houses the Royal New Zealand Ballet. It's a favourite theatre, and celebrations are planned to mark the reopening, beginning today with TEEKS and the Symphony Orchestra. Corin Dann spoke to Jill Day, chair of the Wellington City Council's arts and culture committee.
