A tweet from Dubai Media Office today has given us a first look at the inside of Dubai Opera House and they’ve also told us the day it’s opening. 

The image shows an impressive, elaborately decorated venue suitable for musicals and performances alike. A short Instagram clip posted five days ago also gives a clearer view of the entire auditorium. 

On the 31st of August, opening night, famous Spanish baritone Plácido Domingo will take to the stage of Dubai’s newest performance theatre followed in September by musicals such as Les Miserables and West Side Story.
