Dubai Opera
Dubai Opera, located in The Opera District in Downtown Dubai, is a 2,000-seat performing arts center developed by Emaar Properties. It hosts various events including theater, opera, ballet, concerts, conferences, and exhibitions. Plans were announced by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum in March 2012, and it was completed in 2016, opening on 31 August 2016 with a performance by Plácido Domingo. The venue has a flat floor capacity of 1,800 m2 and has hosted weddings, gala dinners, fashion shows, and exhibitions. Emaar appointed Jasper Hope as the Chief Executive in January 2015. The venue was built by Consolidated Contractors Company (CCC), the same company that built the Dubai Mall. Dubai Opera was preceded by an earlier proposal to build a cultural center on an island in Dubai Creek, designed by architect Zaha Hadid, announced in 2008 but shelved during the property crash. The first Emirati singer to perform at Dubai Opera was Hussain Al Jassmi on 10 October 2016. In 2017, the venue hosted the inaugural BBC Proms Dubai. Dubai Opera's longest-running show was the Phantom of the Opera in late 2019. Paolo Petrocelli serves as the Head of Dubai Opera as of 2023. Designed by Janus Rostock of Atkins, Dubai Opera can be converted into various formats and is designed to resemble a dhow, a traditional sailing vessel. The Opera District, launched by Emaar Properties in 2013, includes art galleries, museums, design studios, and other cultural venues, along with hotels, retail plaza, recreational spaces, and residential towers.
