Named after the nearby Esplanade Park, the Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay, is often dubbed by the locals as “The Durian” due to its spiky dome-shaped façade formed by many triangular glass sunshades. It is a premier performing arts centre which houses a concert hall and a theatre for up to 2000 people. Hosting a variety of performance arts with its excellent acoustics design, the Esplanade allows you to experience the local and global arts scene at its best.

Overlooking the Singapore River, many cafes, restaurants and shops can also be found in the building and on its rooftop.
