NZSO Tan Dun Martial Arts Trilogy ©Tomasz Wiech

New Zealand Symphony Orchestra Tan Dun Martial Arts Trilogy Academy award-winning composer Tan Dun conducts the NZSO in a luscious and sweeping performance of his Martial Arts Trilogy.

To mark the Year of the Snake and the Chinese New Year, the concert comprises Tan Dun’s scores from three classic martial arts films, The Banquet, Hero, and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

In a multi-media event dedicated to Hollywood grandeur, scenes from the films will be projected above the orchestra as they celebrate the soaring, melodramatic and spiritually transcendent martial arts that make these films so powerful.

Internationally acclaimed violinist Ryu Goto evokes Flying Snow, and her story of revenge and redemption; pianist Yingdi Sun, winner of the prestigious Liszt Prize, is Empress Ano, who sacrifices everything for power; while Tan Wei on the traditional Chinese violin erhu portrays the dreamer Lo who finds transcendence through martial arts. Tan Dun’s soaring, haunting and utterly thrilling music makes for a concert that is not to be missed. 7.30pm. 15 February.

Activities

Ferry Building

Auckland offers a host of activities and adventures, from sophisticated museums, galleries and sightseeing attractions, to urban adventures, harbour cruises, scenic offshore islands and award-winning wineries.

Auckland lies between two stunning harbours – the Waitemata and the Manukau. The city’s residents enjoy a relaxed, outdoor lifestyle, with vineyards, parks, sandy beaches and rugged ranges right on their doorstep. Down at the waterfront, the Viaduct Harbour is a good place to begin exploring. Take in the harbour highlights on a cruise, help sail an authentic America’s Cup yacht, or catch a ferry to one of the Hauraki Gulf islands. You can climb to the summit of bush-clad Rangitoto Island, visit the wineries and art studios on Waiheke, picnic on the beach at Motuihe or see endangered native birdlife on beautiful Tiritiri Matangi.

Head uptown and you can ride the lift to the top of the Sky Tower – the Southern Hemisphere’s highest – for magnificent views of the city and harbour, or raise your heart-rate with a SkyWalk ® or SkyJump®. The city’s landmark Harbour Bridge has more adventure options to tempt the daredevils, including a bridge climb and the world’s first bridge bungy.

Culture vultures will find themselves at home in the city’s sophisticated galleries and museums. You can browse New Zealand’s largest collection of art at the Auckland Art Gallery, view the rare Maori taonga (treasures) at Auckland Museum, go sailing on a heritage vessel at Voyager New Zealand Maritime Museum or ride the historic tram at MOTAT. There are plenty of family attractions to keep you busy. Join a guided tour of the Botanic Gardens, watch the sharks being fed at Kelly Tarlton’s, get up close to the animals at the Auckland Zoo, enjoy the latest amusement rides at Rainbow’s End or head north to see an authentic Kiwi farm show at SheepWorld. Further afield, you’ll find tranquil bushwalks, wild surf beaches, historic villages and award-winning wineries to discover.

Explore deep caverns with Waitomo Adventures ©Waitomo Adventures

Waitomo Caves Waitomo Caves Village is an amazing day trip from Auckland.

From here, visitors can access the world-renowned caves, glowworms and scenic attractions. The village is an easy 3-hour drive from Auckland via SH1 then SH3. This makes most of the activities accessible from your Auckland base. If you have more time, there is a great local TOP 10 Holiday Park, as well as Juno Backpackers and the Waitomo Bed & Breakfast.

Waitomo Caves Village itself is very small, having only a dozen or so buildings, as all the main attractions are hidden underground!

The largest building is the Waitomo Adventure Centre where many activities begin and from where they may also be booked – just look for the large blue ‘i’. However, advance bookings are recommended. Simply freephone 0800 WAITOMO.

For detailed information on the New Zealand road code, the official guidebook is available at most bookstores and petrol stations.

Road Rules You must be 21 to hire a rental car or mobile home, and show a current driving licence and/or an international licence. New Zealand drives on the left so remember to keep left at all times.

All traffic turning right should give way to a vehicle coming from the opposite direction and turning left. This applies at cross roads, T-intersections and driveways where both vehicles are facing each other. New Zealand law requires all the occupants of a car to wear a seatbelt at all times while mobile. It is illegal to use a mobile phone while driving unless it’s ‘hands-free’.

At roundabouts, always keep left and give way to all traffic on your right. The speed limit on the open road is 100km/h and 50km/h in residential areas unless otherwise marked. The New Zealand Police enforce all traffic laws, including the speed limit and dealing with accidents. All accidents must be reported to the police within 24 hours. Dial *555 on cell phones for nonemergency accidents. Obtain the driver’s name and address and vehicle registration number.

Tips for Safe Driving • Speed cameras are in use on New Zealand roads – take care not to exceed the signed speed limits as fines can be heavy, not forgetting the safety factor.

• If you notice traffic building up behind you, pull over at a rest area to let it pass. Be extra careful when rejoining traffic.

• Winding roads, difficult terrain and adverse weather conditions will slow you down, so allow plenty of time to reach your destination. Comfortable driving distances in a day are 200300km, but less if you want to stop and enjoy attractions.

• Ensure you are at least two seconds behind the vehicle in front.

• Ringing bells and flashing red lights at a railway crossing signal that a train is coming. Many railway crossings are not controlled by barrier arms. Look out for the distinctive X-shaped railway crossing signs, and take extra care. search it, plan it, book it @www.jasons.co.nz

Shuttle buses cost less (about $30 per person but less for a group) and take longer, as they pick up and drop off en route. The Airbus (freephone 0800 10 30 80, www.airbus.co.nz) runs every 15 minutes throughout the day, stopping close to most major hotels and backpackers. An adult fare costs $16 one way and $26 return.

Transfers take 40-50 minutes. A bus connects to the airport from Papatoetoe Station on the city’s southern train line – for details contact Maxx, phone 366 6400 or www.maxx.co.nz
