Dubai Opera
This is a 2000 seat, multi-format performing arts center located in the Opera district in Downtown Dubai. The building is a contemporary architectural masterpiece. The walls are made of glass and steel, which reflect the water from the Burj Khalifa lake. It was designed to resemble a ‘dhow’, a traditional sailing vessel, in which the bow of the structure houses the opera’s main stage, orchestra, and seating, while the elongated hull has waiting areas, taxi drop-off areas, and parking.
