Capitol Theatre Comes Alive With Cuban Music Legend

BUILT IN 1929 by M.A. Namazie, an early Singapore pioneer of Persian origin, the historical neo-classical Capitol Theatre is an architectural and lifestyle gem. The former cinema reopened in 2015 after a major refurbishment. Its iconic exterior is marked by retro neon signage, shining brightly and beckoning visitors to enter the piazza and expansive light-filled foyer. This well-restored building has direct access to the adjacent The Capitol Kempinski Hotel Singapore as well as a host of dining and shopping options at Capitol Piazza.

When inside the theatre, sink into one of the plush seats and take in the lofty ceiling's dome-shaped grandeur. The 980-seater also boasts Southeast Asia's first advanced rotational floor system, state-of-the-art audio and visual systems, and one of the region's largest single screens. Today the multi-functional venue also hosts glamourous red carpet premieres and fashion shows.

Guests can soak in the charming atmosphere of Capitol Theatre while enjoying plays, musicals and world-class performances. A top act to look forward to is the upcoming show by Cuba's iconic vocalist Omara Portuondo, on May 22.
