Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay

Futuristic waterfront arts venue with a 1,600-seat concert hall, 2,000-person theatre, studios & mall. An architectural icon with distinctive twin shells, Esplanade is one of the busiest arts centres in the world. Since opening in 2002, we have presented more than 53,000 performances and activities, drawing 34 million patrons and 116 million visitors.

Affectionately known among locals as the “durian”, Esplanade is one of the busiest arts centres in the world with about 3,000 performances presented yearly. Spot our prickly cladding in the middle of the central arts and cultural district, and take in the view from the Marina Bay waterfront where our Outdoor Theatre is situated. Coming to Esplanade means that you’re in for a complete lifestyle experience, from enjoying a night out at a show, to shopping and dining. And whether you’re a first-timer, an ardent patron or a fellow arts lover, you’re most welcome here and we’ll do our best to give you a great experience with the arts.
