Architect Janus Rostock’s creation, the dhow-shaped Dubai Opera, pays homage to the city’s maritime heritage. Opened in 2016, this performing arts venue in downtown Dubai can transform into a theater, concert hall, or banquet facility, accommodating 2,000 guests. Its design brilliance is best appreciated by indulging in pre-show dining or drinks at one of the nearby Burj Khalifa eateries.
