Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay

The 1,600-seat concert hall features three adjustable acoustic canopies, 1,000 square meters of acoustic banners, and 58 adjustable concrete acoustic doors that connect to reverberation chambers and can be opened or closed to adjust the room’s tone. The horseshoe-shaped, 2,000-seat multipurpose theatre boasts the largest stage in Singapore and is capable of hosting Chinese opera or Indian dance—where musicians and performers share the stage. The theatre’s adjustable proscenium ranges from 45 to 54 feet and the room has a full stagehouse and orchestra pit. The facility also includes a shopping mall and a 250,000 square foot library devoted to music, dance, theatre, and film.
