The Esplanade Theatres opened in 2002 and fast became a landmark of Singapore thanks to their great location by the Bay and their amazing design in shape of two durian halves. The durian being the south east asian fruit par excellence it brings a real local identity to the buildings and is a very interesting architectural feat. On top of a couple of intimate theatres and recital studios, those buildings mostly house a fantastic 1600-seat concert hall and a big 2000-seat theatre.
