迪拜这个城市准备在其令人印象深刻的建筑名单上增添一个新的文化综合体，这个文化综合体是由atkins设计，建于世界最高的摩天大楼对面。该项目位于城市繁华区域核心，这里还将建成一系列豪华酒店和住宅、购物广场、餐饮、娱乐和停车空间。该区域与步行街、街道连接，不但提供带有遮阳的广场吸引市民进行户外活动，同时引导行人通往滨水长廊。

迪拜歌剧院是一座2000席的多功能剧院，设计灵感来自该城市的航海历史，尤其是阿拉伯帆船。该建筑的“船头”布置了主舞台、管弦乐队区和休息区，而瘦长的“船身”则布置了观众等候区、出租车泊客区和停车设施。该方案提供了多个多功能空间，包括最高层的的贵宾厅、餐厅和小型演出舞台，将附近湖泊和迪拜塔一览无遗。该项目将于2016年对公众开放。
the city of dubai is ready to add to its roster of impressive architecture with a new cultural complex, designed by atkins, to be built opposite the world’s tallest building. the ‘dubai opera’, initiated by global property developers EMAAR, forms the centerpiece of the city’s downtown opera district – a region that will eventually include a range of luxury hotels and residences, a retail plaza, restaurants, recreational spaces and parks.

accessed from mohammed bin rashif boulevard, the district is connected with pedestrianized walkways and animated streets. not only will the shaded plaza encourage people to spend time outdoors, but also guide pedestrians towards the landscaped waterfront promenade.

the ‘dubai opera’ is a 2,000 seat multi-format theater whose design is born from the city’s maritime history, in particular arabian sailing vessels. the ‘bow’ of the structure contains the main stage, orchestra and seating areas, while the elongated ‘hull’ features waiting areas for spectators, a taxi-drop off area and parking amenities. the scheme boasts a number of versatile spaces including a lounge positioned at the uppermost level, with the restaurant, which also contains a small stage for performances, presenting sweeping views across the neighboring lake and towards the towering burj khalifa.

importantly, the complex has the ability to transform into three different modes; a theater, a concert hall, and a ‘flat floor’ – an open space for a variety of banquets or special events. in theater mode, the space is suitable for opera, musicals, ballet and dance performances, large scale drama productions, lectures and conferences – seating between 1,940 and 2,040 guests depending on configuration.

in order to transform the venue into a concert hall, a series of towers on stage create an acoustic shell that surrounds the orchestra, while overhead reflectors enhance the hall’s acoustics. in addition, the concert platform can vary in size to suit the ensemble. in the third arrangement – ‘flat floor’ mode – the room caters for a number of events, including weddings, with banquet-style seating able to accommodate up to 1,000 guests. the volume offers the flexibility to be configured for trade shows and exhibitions where furniture can be supplied or removed accordingly.

mohamed alabbar, chairman of EMAAR properties, said: ‘the opera district highlights the vision of his highness sheikh mohammed bin rashid al maktoum, UAE vice president and prime minister and ruler of dubai, to develop a vibrant cultural community and events destination in the city which will encourage our talented local artists and also promote global cultural exchange.

‘dubai opera, which is central to the new arts and lifestyle district, will be a spectacular addition to downtown dubai, already home to global icons such as burj khalifa. the state-of-the-art opera house and the varied lifestyle components of the opera district will energize dubai’s events and tourism sectors. with the city establishing its global reputation as an arts hub, the new development will also strengthen the ‘dubai art season,’ which brings together the city’s vibrant arts initiatives.’the complex is on track to open its doors to the public in 2016.
