The Concert Hall can hold upto 1,600 people and the choir stall can hold upto 200 people and if the necessity arises it can be converted into gallery seats. You can also go for the VIP boxes to watch the performances from close quarters.

The theatre can accommodate about 2,000 seats and the stage measures 23 meters in width and 39 meters in length .

It also includes an orchestra pit (an area underneath the stage, where the stage performers are accompanied by an orchestra especially in the musical plays). To witness modest performances, the Recital Studio is the place to be and it features 250 seats. Another major feature of the Esplanade is the Theatre Studio, meant for dance performances and plays that fall under the category of experimental theatre. Jandela is the venue that has been allotted for exhibition purposes as well as for visual arts. For art exhibitions this is the place to be.
