Breathing art and culture

“Life is about experiences and the moments that you share with family and friends.” (www.dubaiopera.com)
How majestic is that? To embrace the joy of living and immerse your senses in a variety of performing arts from opera, ballet, musicals, theatre, comedy, family shows, rock, pop, jazz and a full range of other entertaining performances? To have the entire world wide open laying at your feet in just one place?
At the heart of Dubai, a remarkable polarizing venue was born in 2016 – The Opera – a theatre to gather the whole city’s breath, families and friends, and bring the world’s beauty in their souls, making them experience Dubai’s rich arts and culture scene in a versatile radiant center that can change its physical form to perfectly suit the needs of any type of event or performance. The voice of the “Kammersänger” of the Vienna State Opera, the Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire, multiple winner of Grammy Awards, the famous Spanish tenor Plácido Domingo brought it to life for the first time in August.
“The new 645,000 square foot Dubai Opera is a remarkable multiform theatre that can convert from opera house, to concert hall to flat floor banquet room and more.” (www.theatreprojects.com) Dubai Opera is the city’s first purpose built multi-format performing arts theatre and the definitive destination for quality entertainment productions and performances.
The iconic dhow-shaped building of Dubai Opera is a masterpiece of contemporary design, and a stylish tribute to Dubai’s maritime history. The shimmering dhow shaped structure lies in “the most prestigious square kilometer in the world” – Downtown Dubai, across The Dubai Fountain from The Dubai Mall and attracts a rich mixture of home-grown and visiting entertainment from around the world.
The building’s exquisite design was completed in 2012 by Janus Rostock of Atkins architects (see also their inspired creations and talent at Burj Al Arab, The Crescent in Baku and China Huraong Tower designs) and executed by Emaar Properties.
