Dubai Opera House, Opera house in Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Dubai Opera is a 2,000-seat, multi-format, performing arts centre, located within The Opera District in Downtown Dubai.
It was developed by Emaar Properties to host a variety of performances and events including theatre, opera, ballet, concerts, conferences and exhibitions.
Its plans were announced by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum in March 2012 and it was completed in 2016.
The building’s architecture is inspired by the shape of a dhow, a traditional sailing vessel.
Unlike traditional opera houses, Dubai Opera has been designed to transform into three modes: from a theatre into a concert hall, and into a ‘flat floor’ form, becoming a banquet or event hall.
