The Star Performing Arts Centre
The Star Performing Arts Centre (Chinese: 星宇表演艺术中心) is located in a mixed use complex called The Star which comprises the performing arts centre and a shopping mall, The Star Vista (Chinese: 星悦汇) . The Star PAC was completed in Oct 2012 and designed by Andrew Bromberg of Aedas Architects.
The 38,000-sq m performing arts centre, from Level 3 to Level 11, occupies almost two thirds of the building and is the only state-of-the-art 5,126-seat purpose-built performance venue in Singapore. Aside from the main indoor concert hall, it also features a 770-seat function hall, an outdoor 300-seat amphitheatre, multipurpose rooms and a roof-top reception area.
The concert hall was officially opened on 1 November 2012, with an inaugural concert by David Foster.

Running through it, and characterizing the work of almost every man and woman producing it, there is an unescapable suggestion of the old Puritan suspicion of the fine arts as such—of the doctrine that they offer fit asylum for good citizens only when some ulterior and superior purpose is carried into them.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“A daze had come over his mind, he had another centre of consciousness. In his breast, or in his bowels, somewhere in his body, there had started another activity.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
