Comprising the 614-seat Victoria Theatre and the 673-seat Victoria Concert Hall with its central clock tower, it is one of Singapore's oldest performing arts venues. Originally built as the Town Hall in 1862 and expanded in 1905, it is gazetted as a National Monument and serves as the home of the Singapore Symphony Orchestra.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a restored colonial-era complex with two distinct venues linked by a central clock tower facing Empress Place and the Singapore River.
