The Esplanade most visibly spotted with it's durain thorn-like twin domes. The thorns were not part of the initial design but an later-add on to defect the sunlight acting as sunshades.

I have been to a few ballet performances held at the Esplanade and the experience is nothing short of being wonderful. The place is beautiful, comfortable with excellent acoustically designed performance spaces.

Within the building, sometimes there open exhibitions which one can visit without the need for a ticket.

There is a performing space just outside the Esplanade where events were held and is popular among the local and overseas crowds.

There's some nice restaurants in the buildings with excellent views. If you are in the area, do drop by. The walking path is also filled with beautiful views.
