The focal point of Dubai’s artistic district is Dubai Opera House. Designed by Danish architect Janus Rostock of Atkins, the Opera House is the first multifunctional theatre in Dubai, a versatile location that can be transformed from a classic theatre into a concert hall, a venue for art exhibitions or fashion shows, or even an events room for large banquets. The 1242 Pitagora seats produced by Poltrona Frau Custom Interiors are in fact retractable.
