Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay is one of the world's busiest arts centres, officially opened on 12 October 2002. This architectural icon with its distinctive twin shells is sited within Singapore's civic district, just by Marina Bay at the mouth of the Singapore River.

Esplanade aims to be a performing arts centre for everyone, and its programmes cater to its diverse audiences. Its programme line-up spans all genres to encompass music, dance, theatre and visual arts, with a special focus on Asian culture.

Esplanade houses world-class performance spaces, supported by a comprehensive range of professional support facilities and services. Its two main venues are the 1,600-seat Concert Hall, with acoustics by Russell Johnson of ARTEC Consultants, and the 2,000-seat theatre, an adaptation of traditional European opera houses in horseshoe form.
In the past year, Esplanade has welcomed over seven million visitors and hosted over 2,000 performances.

The 9,800 sqm Esplanade Mall offers an exciting mix of retail, lifestyle and entertainment outlets over three levels. From show-related merchandise to flowers, custom made hand lotions to home decorations and even guitar and violin shops, the mall provides a unique shopping experience to complement your visit to the arts centre.

What's more, patrons can also enjoy a pre or post-performance dinner at one of the mall's premier restaurants or specialty cafes. Wine and dine in style at the alfresco Waterfront, tuck into local hawker favourites, coffee and cakes or simply grab a quick drink and bite at the bars. Even if you're not catching a performance, Esplanade Mall provides the perfect environment for you to catch up with friends and family or just to chill out and immerse yourself in the artistic ambience of one of the world's busiest performing arts centres.
