How many times have you arrived early to a show to ensure the best viewing experience, only for it to be ruined by guests scrambling to find their seats in the dark? Not only does it disrupt your experience, but it’s also a major distraction for the performers on stage.

In an effort to provide all guests with the best possible experience, Dubai Opera has introduced a new policy for latecomers: they will not be allowed into the auditorium once the show has begun. While they understand that traffic in Downtown Dubai can sometimes cause delays, it’s best to leave home – or the office – earlier than usual. If you arrive late, entry will only be permitted during intermission. Can’t say they didn’t warn you!
