On the north side of the river on Marina Bay, opposite the Merlion and looking like a pair of giant metal durians, is the Esplanade-Theatres on the Bay, the centre of Singapore’s performing arts scene. Within the complex there’s a 1800-seater concert hall, a 2000-seat theatre, various outdoor performing spaces and a shopping plaza.
After a shaky start the theatres are increasingly attracting world-class performances plus epic musicals and resurgent, newly hip local theatre adding to the diverse line-up, an excellent place to catch Asian contemporary theatre, dance and music. There are often free music performances at the outdoor stage on the waterfront; check local media for details.
