In the heart of Singapore’s Marina Bay stands the iconic Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay, a world-class performing arts center celebrated for its architectural brilliance and vibrant cultural offerings.
Architectural Design by DP Architects
The design of the Esplanade was entrusted to the leading local architectural firm, DP Architects.
With a vision to create a space that seamlessly blends aesthetic appeal, functionality, and sustainability, DP Architects crafted the distinctive twin domes that have become synonymous with the Esplanade.
The project, completed at a cost of approximately SGD 600 million which is $441 million in USD, showcases a harmonious fusion of creativity and engineering.
Versatile Spaces for Cultural Expression
The Esplanade stands proudly on 6 hectares of prime waterfront land at Marina Bay, making it a significant cultural landmark in Singapore’s civic district.
Boasting a 1,600-seat Concert Hall, a 2,000-seat Theatre, and a Recital Studio, the center offers a diverse range of performances and events.
From classical concerts to avant-garde theater productions, the Esplanade caters to a wide spectrum of artistic expressions.
