Organisers say the design of the theatre is such that all seats will offer uninterrupted views of the stage. The a 2,000-seat multi-format venue will serve as a cultural hub in the region for opera, theatre, concerts, art exhibitions, orchestra, film, sports events and seasonal programmes, within The Opera District.

Jasper Hope, Chief Executive of Dubai Opera said the opening is the culmination of many years of planning, construction and collaboration of thousands of people, as well as the start of a new journey for arts and culture in Dubai.

He continued: “We are thrilled to be delivering an iconic landmark to the city for residents and visitors and can promise world-class entertainment from around the world to excite and inspire.” For the lucky few people who got their hands on a ticket to see Domingo, the doors of Dubai Opera will officially open at 6pm and the performance will begin at 8pm, promptly.
