The Cunard Centre sort of fills the gap between the Cohn and the Scotiabank Centre, for music, although it doesn't have an orchestra pit or anything. I think the capacity is somewhere in the range of 2-5000 (depending on configuration). Not a true concert hall by any means, but the acoustics are better than the Scotiabank Centre (or Forum MPR). There's also the casino, I'm not sure of the capacity.
Live theatre is a bit different from live music and auditorium-type setups are usually optimized for one or the other, but not necessarily both. The Cohn is definitely more music-oriented, Neptune is more theatre-oriented. There's also the Dunn Theatre and Pond Playhouse which are theatre-oriented, although they're both smaller than Neptune (probably about 100 seats each).
