The finishing touches are being put to one of the most eagerly awaited and iconic buildings Dubai has ever seen. The spectacular view from the stage looking out to the stalls gives a glimpse of the architecture and the stunning backdrop. The image also illustrates the uninterrupted view of the stage action that guests will have with all seats in the house offering unrivalled views and within a heartbeat of the stage.
The curtain will rise for the first time on 31 August when one of the world's most prestigious tenors, Plácido Domingo, performs the inaugural concert, an event which sold out the magnificent auditorium in under three hours when tickets were released to the public in April.
Dubai is set to make a lasting contribution to the performing arts and events industry with Dubai Opera, a 2,000-seat multi-format venue for opera, theatre, concerts, art exhibitions, orchestra, film, sports events and seasonal programmes, within The Opera District.
Promising to bring entertainment from around the globe to the Middle East, Dubai Opera is set to light up Dubai's social scene with incredible world class entertainment, productions and performances including a whole host of talent from opera, to musicals and ballets to illusion shows and live music. For the lucky few people who got their hands on a ticket to see Domingo, the doors of Dubai Opera will officially open at 6pm and the Plácido Domingo performance will begin at 8:00pm, promptly.
Dubai Opera urges ticket holders to plan their journey to Dubai Opera well as latecomers will only be permitted to the auditorium at appropriate times. The venue boasts a range of parking facilities including Dubai Opera parking, valet parking and boulevard parking.
Although there isn't a mandatory dress code in place at Dubai Opera, guests are encouraged to dress their best for the occasion with many people expected to be in black tie and formal gowns for the first night. Hats and big hairstyles are best avoided.
Be a part of Dubai Opera's first year and book your tickets to experience world class performances in the newest and most advanced venue of its kind in the world. The Dubai Opera programme is available to view online and tickets to The Pearl Fishers, The Barber of Seville, Opera Without Words, Coppelia, Giselle, Postcards from Vienna, Mozart Gala, Impossible, Jose Carreras, Vivaldi's The Four Seasons, Sara Baras, Anoushka Shankar, Bejart Ballet Lausanne, Les Miserables, The Nutcracker on Ice, Slava's Snowshow and West Side Story can all be purchased online, only at www.dubaiopera.com
