 | Quote: | | | | | SINGAPORE: One of Singapore's iconic arts venues, Kallang Theatre, will be closing down, come March 31 next year.
The stage for world class musicals since 1986, Kallang Theatre has hosted major international productions such as Cats and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat and local arts festivals.
It was also the venue for National Day rallies and political dialogues.
The National Arts Council is shutting down the theatre after careful review of its strategic relevance to Singapore's arts facilities and infrastructure.
It says since the opening of the Esplanade, there has been a 20 percent drop in the use of Kallang Theatre.
Its inability to host large-scale events is another key factor.
But even as the final curtain is drawn in March next year, Singaporean audiences will no doubt continue to cherish the many historical and cultural memories they have of Kallang Theatre. - CNA/so | | | | |
