It was supposed to be a chance for New Zealanders to follow in the footsteps of Prince, Ed Sheeran and the Royal New Zealand Ballet and tread the boards of Auckland's Kiri Te Kanawa Theatre. But days after Auckland Live announced its 'Take the Stage event', community transmission of Covid-19 put Auckland back into lockdown - and curtailed the event. Auckland Live's Bernie Haldane told Indira Stewart the response had been overwhelming, and while they're keen for the event to go ahead there are still question marks around when.
