Ever wondered how a performer can seemingly emerge from under the stage during a concert? Or where large sets are hidden on stage, away from the audience’s view during a theatre performance? Come onto our Esplanade Backstage Tours to uncover these secrets and experience more!

 

From the Esplanade Concert Hall under-stage to the massive Esplanade Theatre stage and our spanking new Singtel Waterfront Theatre; from a dressing room that has hosted world-famous artists to the Green Room where artists mingle, and our new waterfront Theatre, our Backstage Tours will take you to exclusive areas that are off-limits to the public.
