SUMMARY:Tagreed Darghouth: Gardens & Jungles
DESCRIPTION:The title of Tagreed Darghouth’s solo show references controversial remarks made by Josep Borrell\, the outspoken foreign policy chief of the European Union; he described Europe as an idyllic garden of prosperity\, contrasting it with the rest of the world which he termed a ‘jungle’. \nDarghouth considers the militarisation of civil society\, drawing on Stephen Graham’s ideas on warfare\, political violence\, and the transformation of cities by military and security imaginaries. Darghouth challenges Borell’s outdated binary perception\, suggesting that the traditional understanding of developed and developing nations has lost its relevance; she argues that new partitions\, walls\, borders\, and divisions have emerged\, creating a world that is neither safer nor more appealing than before. \nTo 30 September.

SUMMARY:Madama Butterfly
DESCRIPTION:The Hungarian State Opera/Ballet company’s second show for its Dubai sojourn is Puccini’s tragic opera\, and we’re promised that “elegance meets artistry for an unforgettable evening of beauty and grace”. \nIn turn-of-the-century Nagasaki\, the dashing American naval officer Pinkerton (Boldizsár László) has chosen for his bride Cio-Cio-san\, a naïve young geisha on the verge of womanhood (the Butterfly of the title\, played by Csilla Boross). His betrayal and Cio-Cio-san’ shame and sorrow leads her s to take destiny into her own hands; the final scene is one of the most devastating you’ll find in any opera. \nThis company performs the fifth and final version of Puccini’s reworkings of the piece; its production\, by director Miklós Gábor Kerényi\, has enjoyed success with audiences since 2000. János Kovács conducts the Hungarian State Opera Orchestra. \nThere’s a black tie/formal dress code\, but at these prices that shouldn’t be a problem for you …. \nThere is a second performance on 13 September.
