Spend your Culture Pass credits at six shows

The 24th edition returns from Nov 21 to 30 with more than 12 productions and ancillary programmes, from free shows to ticketed workshops. Early-bird tickets are on sale till Oct 13.

Esplanade’s producer David Pandarakannu says the festival has always been about celebrating Indian arts and culture, and the team endeavours to curate a festival which balances excitement and artistic merit.

Over the past few editions, Kalaa Utsavam also expanded its aims to reach more people and do more. He adds: “We have consciously included programmes that have a larger youth presence, and the festival also serves as a platform for the next generation of Singaporean artists to build capabilities”

Hence the co-productions and commissions for the six shows that qualify for Culture Pass credits, spanning music and theatre.
