Durian look is actually triangulated glass & sunshade system. Tradeoff betw solar shading & panoramic views. Offers shadow & texture during day; & as glowing lanterns @ night. Source: DP Architects- Locals call this place the "Durian" (after a regional thorny fruit). However from sky, we see curves than thorns of the popular local fruit. Aerial photo taken by Yeo Kai Wen.

TingNovember 4, 2014Concert hall is the smaller of the two and is one of the most 'glam' venue in Singapore for a classical music performance. The best thing is that there is no phone reception inside!
- Besides the F&B outlets within the Esplanade, we also enjoyed ourselves at Gluttons Bay just right beside the building! Local food, alfresco & shaded dining, affordable cold drinks 🍻
Arun SathiyaJune 22, 2017Esplanade has some really beautiful view from the top of the building. Do not miss the view of the city from the top during evening times.
Live shows. Many of them! Quite new names but really good quality. Amazing promoters that spoil the audience and give a chance to young bands to prove themselves
- There's a car grooming service at carpark level B2. Called GroomWerkz, they operate Mon-Fri 7:30am-4:45pm. They'll even provide a spare car while yours is being given spa attention. Source: website
- Walking/scooter tours can be found at The Walking Singapore #01-18. Rental of e-bikes, money changer, discounted tickets to local attractions & other tourist services are offered too
- Did u know? Theatres on the Bay is built on reclaimed land. Construction began 1998 & completed 2002. S$600M cost fully financed by Singapore Pools & Singapore Totalisator Board. Source: Infopedia
Lusy AaltjeMay 26, 2012A nice arts center and a familiar place for meet-ups with friends for dining & a performance. I like the exhibitions & festivals as well! One horrible experience with a rude theatre usher though!
Magdalena MrázkováOctober 13, 2014Beautiful piece of architecture that looks as interesting from the outside as from the inside. Great dancing spectacles to watch here!
Edmund NgNovember 10, 2015Wonderful! Great place, good direction leading, great enviroment! Had a great night here with #tommyemmanuel performance!
- The Breast Cancer Awareness CampaignOctober 3, 2011Be sure to indulge in a variety of local delights at the aptly named Makansutra Gluttons Bay. Head over to the roof terrace of the Esplanade for majestic views of city and marina bay area. Read more
Gary HorFebruary 8, 2016There are performances outside Esplanade during the weekends at the covered pavilion. Take a spot facing Downtown Singapore and chill.- There's an underpass that connects Esplanade Park to the to theatres
Elise ❥December 10, 2015Nice to walk around the premises in the evening even if you're not here for a concert / show.
InterContinental Hotels & ResortsFebruary 8, 2013To end the day, enjoy a concert, play or musical at the Esplanade Theatres on the Bay, Singapore's most exciting performing arts centre. Read more
Suvega SrinivasanJune 3, 2012Nice place by the bay.. Good weekend evening shows by the bay and nice to view the SG night skyline, Marina Sands and its laser show.
Atif HussainApril 13, 2017Expected it to be much bigger with lots more to do. However it's not bad. Has some restaurants and a very cool library- The Esplanade area circa 1900, in front of City Hall/Padang.
- SupermodelmeMay 18, 2011This integrated arts centre boasts a concert hall, theatre, studios and more, and its distinctive shape has made it a giant cultural landmark in @visitsingapore.
- Kimberley KohMarch 17, 2015Nice place to chill and relax! Overlooking the beautiful view of Marina Bay Sands.
The performance JUMP is the most entertaining, engaging & impressive performance I've seen at the theatre hall. Never miss a JUMP performance!
Always no network inside the theatre. But that's good for no interruptions to shows.
There's a library here where you can borrow DVDs, books and even music scores! Piano in soundproof room for playing as well. Thumbs up!
Ramesh IyerSeptember 26, 2011there are many free programmes during lunch time and evenings at the concourse and they are top quality
AyuniApril 6, 2012Nothing much to see but we were able to capture some best shots of MBS. Remember to have a hat or cap on you. It's very hot and may have heat headaches.
Arrive slightly early to visit the wash-rooms and find the right theatre. Bring a good read for the break in-between performances.
Bhagaban BeheraFebruary 7, 2011A good place to enjoy some nice ,lovely, sweet music. Test bed for many aspiring music stars.

Alan HoAugust 27, 2010Check out the slush shop beside the outdoor theater, opposite No Sign Board. Ice cold slush with no sugar added. Made from 100% fruit juice
Ross WSJune 25, 2015Thoroughly enjoyed the Dim Sum Dollies production of the History of Singapore. Angmo's familiarise yourself with some some Singlish and local knowledge otherwise the majority of jokes will be lost
