SUMMARY:CANCELLED UAENO: Echoes of Time – Ibn Arabi
DESCRIPTION:A second performance for the UAE National Orchestra concert inspired by the words of Ibn Arabi\, the Arab scholar\, Sufi mystic\, poet\, and Muslim philosopher from 12th and 13th century al-Andalus\, in the form of a symphonic poem by Nadim Tarabay (the composer who was also commissioned for the UAENO’s symphony The Beginning). \nIbn Arabi’s major teachings emphasize the concept of unity of existence (wahdat al-wujud)\, the idea that all beings are interconnected manifestations of the same divine reality\, encouraging a deep understanding of the self and God through love and spiritual discovery; Echoes of Time seeks a musical response to these ideas\, where the music becomes reflection and connection with Arabic and Western instruments plus voices “invite the audience to experience time as emotion\, where silence and melody carry meaning”.

SUMMARY:Jimmy Carr: Laughs Funny
DESCRIPTION:The marmite comedian is back in town with his latest touring show (a stop between dates in Europe and Australia). It’s his trademark up-yours to civility – if he hasn’t amended the setlist for Dubai you should expect a flurry of gags about abortion\, sex\, identity politics\, domestic abuse\, murder\, paedophilia\, parenthood\, and Harry and Meghan. And he does have a funny laugh … He’s doing two shows\, at 6.30 and 9.30pm (“one for me\, one for the taxman” as he riposted to a heckle at one of the UK shows).

SUMMARY:Rob Beckett: Giraffe
DESCRIPTION:Rob Beckett is getting near to the end of a sell-out tour with his new show. The affable bloke-near-door of British comedy is known for his turns on shows like Would I Lie to You\, Celebs Go Dating\, 8 Out of 10 Cats\, and his TV double acts with Romesh Ranganathan\, and he’s been a fixture on the international comedy circuit for years – loud\, loveable\, completely (and often accidentally) unfiltered. He’s usually good value for money\, especially when he gets stuck into a story … \nNote that it’s an early start at 6pm. \n(There are no wild animals in the show\, so why Giraffe? Because it’s rhyming slang for laugh\, and because he always wanted to have a long neck.)

SUMMARY:War and Peace
DESCRIPTION:The second and final performance of the Vakhtangov State Academic Theatre adaptation of Tolstoy’s epic novel\, by celebrated director Rimas Tuminas.

It’s performed in Russian with English surtitles.

SUMMARY:Tamerlano
DESCRIPTION:The second performance of this spectacular “reimagining” of Handle’s opera by the flamboyant director and designer Stefano Poda. It blends Handel’s score with “a new musical concept” by composer Kirill Richter that weaves in traditional Uzbek instruments.  The sets feature monumental structures inspired by Timurid architecture\, kinetic installations\, and immersive lighting; and Poda has assembled more than 160 artists — singers\, ballet dancers\, the National Symphony Orchestra of Uzbekistan\, the State Choir\, and a number of national ensembles — to create a world of music\, movement\, and visual poetry. The scale\, ambition and expense are all impressive; as the blurb has it\, “Dubai has never witnessed an operatic production of this magnitude”. \n

SUMMARY:Tamerlano
DESCRIPTION:Once he settled in London\, Handel almost single-handedly created a craze for Italian opera seria\, a style of opera that was predicated on providing solo arias for star virtuoso singers; Tamerlano is one of his best-known\, composed in less than three weeks of 1724 (in the same year he also composed two other operas which have entered the canon\, Rodelinda and Giulio Cesare). The opera’s subject is the defeat of the Ottoman emperor Bajazet and his enslavement by the ruthless Tamerlano\, and Tamerlano is regarded as the most genuinely tragic of Handel’s operas. \nThis “reimagining” by the flamboyant director (and designer of sets\, costumes and lighting\, and choreographer) Stefano Poda\, who has a reputation for striking\, symbolic staging\, blends Handel’s score with “a new musical concept” by composer Kirill Richter that weaves in traditional Uzbek instruments – Tamerlano\, aka Tamerlaine\, Amir Temur or Tamburlaine\, was the leader of the Tartars and is therefore claimed as an early Uzbekh (and this performance is presented by the Uzbekistan Art and Culture Development Foundation).  The sets feature monumental structures inspired by Timurid architecture\, kinetic installations\, and immersive lighting; and Poda has assembled more than 160 artists — singers\, ballet dancers\, the National Symphony Orchestra of Uzbekistan\, the State Choir\, and a number of national ensembles — to create a world of music\, movement\, and visual poetry. The scale\, ambition and expense are all impressive; as the blurb has it\, “Dubai has never witnessed an operatic production of this magnitude”. \nThere’s a second performance on 11 January. \n

SUMMARY:The Nutcracker
DESCRIPTION:Tchaikovsky’s all-time seasonal favourite is a Dubai Opera staple for the time of year\, delivered on this occasion by the Astrakhan Theater Opera and Ballet – one of the newer Russian classical companies\, but one with a decent reputation for traditional works danced in the classical manner. Besides\, you can’t really go wrong with the cute story of Clara and her enchanted Nutcracker Prince journeying through snow-covered kingdoms and the Land of Sweets to some of the best-loved music that Tchaikovsky ever wrote … \nThere are further performances as follows: \n19 December 8pm20 December 2pm and 8pm21 December 2pm and 8pm \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:The Yemenis Orchestra

It grew out of Al-Ghoom’s Heritage Symphonies project\, aiming to integrate traditional Yemeni music with orchestral arrangement\, and the results are impressive. Given the ticket prices\, that’s just as well …

SUMMARY:Jon Batiste
DESCRIPTION:The American singer\, songwriter\, musician\, composer\, bandleader\, TV personality and sometime actor is genuinely talented. He has put in the hard yards – including a seven-year stint as bandleader and musical director on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert\, a current role as the Creative Director of the National Jazz Museum in Harlem\, and seven Grammy Awards from 22 nominations\, including an Album of the Year win. He has composed film scores\, written a symphony\, performed with just about everyone from Stevie Wonder and Prince to Ed Sheeran\, Lana Del Rey … and on top of that he’s a brilliant pianist. This is one stop on a world tour\, The Maestro Series\, with relatively intimate and certainly stripped-down performances featuring just him and the piano. As he put it: “every performance [on the tour] will be a one-of-a-kind experience – spontaneous\, immersive\, and deeply personal”. Hopefully he’ll play some of his improvisations on Beethoven … Highly recommended.

SUMMARY:Björn Again
DESCRIPTION:If you can’t have the original\, the greatest hits provided by their best tribute band will do nicely. Created and founded in 1988 in Melbourne\, Björn Again has clocked up 5\,000 performances in 72 countries over 31 years; it’s a gently satiric light-hearted ABBA spoof\, but boy the songs are good too …
