Oprah Winfrey will return to New Zealand for a one-off show at the end of the year.

The Auckland "in conversation" event is set for Sunday, 14 December, at Spark Arena, the last stop on the back of a series of engagements around Australia's capital cities.

The 71-year-old media legend was last in New Zealand 10 years ago. "An Evening with Oprah" sold out the same venue in December 2015.

This year's show, Oprah In Conversation: Presented by Lilly, is billed as a discussion about "the power of authenticity to the necessity of resilience". The moderator of the event has not been named, nor have ticket prices.

“One of the things I have always enjoyed is sitting down for real, honest, enlightening conversations, and this experience is all about that,” Winfrey said in a statement.

“The energy, warmth, and spirit I feel in Australia and New Zealand have stayed with me, and returning will be an opportunity to reconnect, reflect, and be reinspired - together. I look forward to sharing stories, ideas, and meaningful connection about what’s possible in our lives moving forward.”

New Zealand pre-sale tickets will be available from 8 August, before general public tickets open on Friday, 8 August via tegdainty.com.
