It consists of five major spaces: the auditorium, the Dalkia Rehearsal Hall, Santiago Cua Patrons Lounge, and Jaime Zobel Sr. Hall, and American Standard Green Room. [1]
The auditorium is divided into three levels: Orchestra, Loge, and Balcony, with the Balcony split into two sections or levels. The theater's stage, which has a 17-meter-wide (56 ft) proscenium, is equipped with Harlequin sprung floors.

In 2011, the Philippine Racing Club entered into a joint venture agreement with Ayala Land and its subsidiary, Alveo Land, for the development of the former Santa Ana Race Track. his development later became Circuit Makati, envisioned as a shopping and entertainment hub, including a theater. The theater project and its construction began in 2016, originally known as the Circuit Performing Arts Theater. It was slated to open in June 2020 but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [5]
On October 1, 2020, it was announced that Ayala Land sealed a partnership with Samsung, thus renaming the theater as Samsung Performing Arts Theater. [6] The partnership was reaffirmed on July 1, 2022. [7] The theater was finally inaugurated on July 13, 2022. [8] [9]
