The Story of ODEON KL
A Heritage Born in 1936
Built by the Cathay Organisation in 1936, the Odeon Cinema stood as one of Kuala Lumpur’s most beloved cultural landmarks on the storied stretch of Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman (Jalan TAR). For decades, this Art Deco-influenced building was the heartbeat of KL’s entertainment scene — a place where generations of Malaysians came together to experience the magic of the silver screen.
From Silver Screen to Centre Stage
After closing its cinema operations in 2015, the iconic building embarked on a new chapter. Rather than fade into the past, ODEON KL was reborn — its heritage façade preserved and its interiors reimagined as a purpose-built live event venue. Today, backed by DOREMi’s 45+ years of event production expertise, the same walls that once held generations of cinemagoers now reverberate with concert-grade sound, immersive lighting, and the energy of live performances.
A Living Cultural Canvas
ODEON KL bridges two eras of Kuala Lumpur — the golden age of its 1930s cinematic heritage and the modern pulse of Malaysia’s contemporary live music scene. The building is more than a venue; it is a living landmark, carrying the stories of KL’s past while creating new memories for a new generation.
