This will feature 17 concerts, 21 performers, eight conductors, and five symphonic orchestras hailing from Jerusalem (Israel), Malta (country in Europe), Germany, and Russia.

COVID-19 safety measures, including mask mandatory and limited capacity, will be observed during the concerts. Proof of vaccination is not required, as per Dubai Government guidelines.
 

Ballet at Dubai Opera

At Dubai Opera, the Astana Ballet (ballet theater in Astana, Kazakhstan) is all set to perform two separate shows in October.

First on the list is ‘The Legend of Love’ to be performed on October 27th and October 28th. It is a poetic interpretation of the history of Turkish poet Nazim Hikmet by Russian choreographer Yury Grigorovich, first performed in 1961 at St Petersburg’s 1,830-capacity Mariinsky Theatre in Russia.

Queen Mekhmene Banu sacrifices her beauty to heal sister Shirin, making the destinies of the two inseparable until both hearts fall in love with one man, Ferkhad.

On October 29th and 30th, Astana Ballet will perform Sultan Baybars, choreographed by Mukaram Avakhri, a tale of a boy captured from his homeland Kypchak steppe and sold into slavery. He then rises to become one of the most revered Army commanders in 13th-century Middle East and is catapulted onto the throne to become Sultan Baybars of Egypt and Syria. Yet, he still craves for a land to call home.

All performances will take place at night from 8 pm. Tickets starting from Dh233 are now available online.

COVID-19 protocols will be in place and proof of vaccination will not be required.

The Dubai Opera is a 2,000-seat, multiformat, performing arts center which is located within The Opera District in Downtown Dubai. It was developed by Emaar Properties to host a variety of performances and events including theater, opera, ballet, concerts, conferences, and exhibitions.
 

Verdi Opera

The St Petersburg Chamber Opera of Russia will also be in town on October 11th and 12th with Verdi’s (Italian composer of operas) masterpiece ‘Rigoletto’.

The plot stems from Victor Hugo’s (French poet, novelist, essayist, playwright, and dramatist of the Romantic Movement) ‘The King Amuses Himself’ and the main character is traditionally an old hunchback court jester.

In this take on the performance directed by the Russian Opera Director Yuri Alexandrov, however, the protagonist is a sarcastic, witty and angry young man with a clownish appearance.

There will be one performance a night, starting from 8 pm. Tickets starting from Dh300 are now available online.
