SUMMARY:Max Richter
DESCRIPTION:Max Richter\, a leading figure in contemporary classical music and top film scores (and something of a favourite with Dubai audiences)\, is touring his latest studio album In a Landscape – field recordings from his travels and from around the rural studio where he recorded the album\, some of which have been lauded by critics as among the most beautiful pieces in his catalogue. The concert\, which is being performed with the American Contemporary Music Ensemble\, also includes selected pieces from his much-praised 2004 album The Blue Notebooks to celebrate its 20th anniversary.

SUMMARY:Bombino
DESCRIPTION:Born in 1980 in a nomadic Tuareg encampment just outside Agadez in Niger\, Bombino (born Goumour Almoctar\, also known as Oumara Moctar) came of age during much political upheaval\, fleeing with his family to Algeria by 1990\, and teaching himself guitar by watching videos of Jimi Hendrix\, Dire Straits\, Ali Farka Toure and Tinariwen. His performances showcase evocative rhythms\, captivating vocals\, and awe-inspiring guitar playing that led the New York Times calling him “the Sultan of Shred”. The first-ever artist from Niger to receive a Grammy nomination (Best World Music Album in 2018)\, Bombino manages to fuse traditional Berber rhythms with stunning rock n roll and songs about peace in the Sahel. A rare chance to see a rare talent.

SUMMARY:Singin’ in the Rain
DESCRIPTION:The two final performances of this highly successful stage adaptation of the iconic MGM film about silent film actors who face their share of struggles over the gradual transition to talkies. The plot isn’t what matters\, of course; it’s the songs – classics like Good Morning\, Make ’em Laugh\, Moses Supposes\, and of course Singin’ in the Rain – and the dancing (the choreography by Andrew Wright is just great). There will also be live rain showers on stage every night … The result is a celebration of Hollywood’s golden era with romance\, humour and wall-to-wall entertainment. \nThere are shows at 2pm and 8pm.

SUMMARY:The Snowman
DESCRIPTION:… and not just The Snowman: the completely brilliant animated film will be shown with live on-stage musical accompaniment by the National Youth Orchestra under the baton of Jonathan Barrett\, but they will also be playing a concert of traditional festive music including arrangements of favourite carols and “vibrant symphonic pieces that celebrate the joy and camaraderie of this special time of year”. Should be a good evening … The concert is part of the Encore programme supported by Royal Grammar School Guildford.

SUMMARY:Max Richter: The Four Seasons Recomposed
DESCRIPTION:When it comes to the classical repertoire\, you don’t get much more mainstream than Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. It seems dangerous\, even perhaps sacrilegious\, to tinker with this much loved\, immensely popular music. But because it has been played so often and by so many virtuosi\, maybe there’s now nothing new to say with the piece. So Max Richter\, the contemporary classical composer of music for stage\, opera\, ballet\, screen and concert hall\, decided to rework it from the ground up. \nHis innovative take on Vivaldi’s classic\, first heard in 2012\, retains the emotional depth of the original while introducing a contemporary soundscape – Richter has said that he had discarded 75 percent of Vivaldi’s original material\, but the parts he does use are phased and looped to provide a dynamic\, modern twist. The result is a true orchestral work\, albeit with some respectably subtle electronic treatments here and there. Reviews of performances and recordings have ranged from the incurably bewildered and damning to grudging respect and outright enthusiasm\, so it will be at the least interesting to see how Vivaldi can be introduced to the 21st century … \nIt’s performed at Dubai Opera by the Kyiv Virtuosi chamber orchestra\, led by conductor Dmitry Yablonsky\, with the much-feted Ukrainian violinist Anastasiya Petryshak.

SUMMARY:Sophie Ellis-Bextor
DESCRIPTION:The reinvented (and genuinely rejuvenated) pop sensation – Murder on the Dancefloor was a hit for her in 2001\, for heaven’s sake\n– drops in for one night only midway through an international tour that has seen sellouts around Europe and North America. Good news: Dubai Opera’s stalls area is to be transformed into a fully flat dancefloor. Should be good; she has some fine tunes\, a good band\, and masses of infectious energy. (The base price buys you a seat in the circle: the standing/aka dancing area is AED 370 per ticket.)

SUMMARY:LA Dance Project: Romeo & Juliet Suite
DESCRIPTION:Benjamin Millepied is a former principal dancer at New York City Ballet whose raison d’etre is to make classical ballet accessible: that’s the essential purpose of his dance company\, LA Dance Project\, and his condensed version of Shakespeare’s story is told in contemporary-classical dance\, set to the music of Sergei Prokofiev and featuring video transmitted live to onstage screens. There are no tutus or pointe shoes in sight\, though the choreography is very clearly derived from classical technique by the 12-strong company. The classic story is also cut to the minimum\, updated into a saga of modern urban love. \nThe live projections capture the dancers in real-time from unexpected places within the theatre; this dynamic interplay between live performance and screens offers fresh perspectives on the tale of the star-crossed lovers. “Romeo and Juliet Suite is unlike anything I have seen\,” said the Bachtrack review of this much-acclaimed production’s summer 2024 season at Sydney Opera House. “It’s geometric sorcery\, and a remarkable fusion of dance and cinematography: accessible\, challenging and entertaining.” \nHighly recommended\, and given that it’s only in town for two performances – there’s another show at 8pm on 18 October – it’s sure to sell out\, even at the somewhat elevated prices. \n \n

SUMMARY:Umm Kulthum & The Golden Era
DESCRIPTION:Saudi theatre producer Mona Khashoggi is bringing this acclaimed musical biography back to Dubai Opera after sell-out seasons in Saudi Arabia\, Jordan\, and Bahrain. For thousands of Arabs\, Umm Kulthum’s death in 1975 was particularly personal and shocking: “my family grieved as though we’d lost a family member\,” Khashoggi wrote. The show tells the life story of Umm Kulthum\, the most famous songstress of Egypt and the Arab world\, from the 1920s to the 1970s – culminating in a grand concert at the Olympia in Paris. \nThe role of Umm Kulthum will be performed by Syrian opera singer Lubana Al-Quntar\, and with a live orchestra we’re promised iconic songs from different eras of Umm Kulthum’s canon – including classics such as Ghanili\, Alf Laylah\, Serat el Hob and Hob Eyh. \nThere are further performances at 2pm and 8pm on 13 October.
