It is the beaming hub of arts and culture in Dubai that passionately takes on its role of hosting and promoting the most excellent, authentic, and appealing theater performances from Dubai and around the world.

Dubai Opera – The building
The signature ship-shaped building is a work of genius which elegantly uses a contemporary design to pay tribute to the maritime history of the city. Its dhow-shaped structure is based on Emirati tradition. Dubai The wonderful design offers the brilliant ability to change into three styles – from a proscenium arch arena, into an acoustic opera house, and into a flat floor event space or banquet hall. This smooth adaptability enables Dubai Opera to organize a wide array of events and performances including opera, plays, ballet, concerts, conferences, rock bands,  comedy shows, fashion shows, live entertainment, and exhibitions.

The arena can seat an audience of up to 2,000 people for large-scale play productions, musical shows, ballets, seminars, and lectures. When converted into an auditorium, a series of on-stage and overhead reflectors and towers create an acoustic cover that surrounds the orchestra, producing a flawless acoustic atmosphere for an impeccable audibility. The building’s unique horizontal floor mode allows hosting a range of events including weddings, trade fairs, exhibitions, and parties, etc.

In addition to its 3-mode architecture, Dubai Opera boasts several rehearsal rooms, smaller performance areas, and turfs such as a spectacular rooftop bistro and sky garden offering clear views of Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, and the Dubai Fountain.

Suffice it to say, Opera is the most impressive destination for people seeking quality entertainment and live performances. Since it opened its gates to viewers two years ago, Dubai Opera has hosted an unbelievable variety of top-notch talent. Theatre performances, music concerts, family entertainment shows, art galleries, and a complete range of live performances, the venue is abuzz with power-packed shows around the year.
