Mozart: The Marriage of Figaro (Le Nozze di Figaro)

'The Marriage of Figaro' is the sequel to another opera, ‘The Barber of Seville’, in which Figaro, the barber and self-proclaimed matchmaker, helps Count Almaviva to reach his new love, Rosina. In this story, we finally see Figaro himself fall in love. No longer a barber, but now a personal valet to Count Almaviva, Figaro plans his wedding to Countess Rosina’s maid. Everything should have gone splendidly, but Count Almaviva’s wandering eye turns the wedding into a day of madness as Figaro discovers that the Count is after his beloved bride.

Expect lots of plan-hatching, theatrics and comedy, all enhanced by Mozart’s masterful score. The opera will be performed by Naples’ Teatro di San Carlo, conducted by Maurizio Agostini. Catch it on stage in the heart of downtown Dubai at Dubai Opera.

The Woman in Black

If you recall a horror movie when you hear the phrase ‘woman in black’, you would be correct. But did you know the movie was based on a bestselling novel by Susan Hill? Stephen Mallatratt brought this ghostly story to life with atmospheric theatrics and it has been running in London's West End for 27 years.  

The show returns to the UAE by popular demand for another round of sell-out shows. Over 7 million people have seen the play in over 40 countries, so be sure to check it out at the Madinat Theatre. The show will be scary, so it’s best to leave viewers below the age of ten in the safety of home.
