Get ready for a show at Dubai Opera – the first performing arts theatre in the city. This buzzing hotspot invites you to tune into concerts, share a laugh at stand-up comedy or immerse yourselves in theatre performances. Dubai Opera has showcased Broadway hits like Mary Poppins, Swan Lake and Othello – so be sure to keep an eye out for upcoming gems.

Built by the renowned architect Janus Rostock, this eight-storey venue has a few tricks up its sleeve. It can seamlessly transform from a traditional theatre mode to a flat floor plan and even a concert hall. As you step into the building, you’ll catch a glimpse of the ‘Symphony’ chandelier – crafted from cascading glass pearls spanning three floors. It’s a real showstopper. Elevate your experience by heading up to the rooftop restaurant for some yummy food served with panoramic views of the nearby Burj Khalifa. Get ready to cheer for an encore.
