The "Dubai Opera" is a performing arts center located in the "Opera District".
Completed in 2016 and opened on 31 August of that year with a performance by Plácido Domingo.
The building is multifunctional and can be converted from a traditional theater into either a concert hall, banquet hall or even exhibition space. Using hydraulic lifts and seating wagons to relocate 900 of the 2,000 seats, the space can be used for events while the extra seating is stored beneath the theater. Design by Janus Rostock of Atkins, the shape shall resemble a dhow (traditional Arabic sailing vessel)
