The Esplanade Walk
Go behind the scenes of a world-class performing arts centre
Join The Esplanade Walk to find out how the
Concert Hall can be acoustically tuned to sound
like a small room or a huge cathedral; how
venues like the Concert Hall and Theatre are
able to block out every possible external noise
and vibration; how the iconic “durian” cladding
allows the building to have a transparent facade
while blocking out glare, and much more.
The Esplanade Walk takes you through the
Concert Hall, Theatre* and other front of house
facilities to give you an understanding of our
architecture and history, and how we contribute
towards the development of the arts in
Singapore.
