The Dubai Opera has announced that its 2023-24 season featured a record-breaking 25,000 audience members.
Per an official release, that number represents the highest since the venue opened in 2016. It is also the first season under new General Director Paolo Petrocelli.
The season featured over 100 productions and 200 performances with such organizations as the Orchestra of Teatro alla Scala and the Rome Opera Ballet at the forefront.
“The past season has been a testament to Dubai Opera’s role as a ‘House of Cultures,’ and we are extremely proud to have set a new attendance record,” Petrocelli said. “This achievement demonstrates the growing appreciation and support for the arts in Dubai. We look forward to building on this success and providing even more extraordinary experiences for our patrons.”
The 2024-25 season will be announced on June 10 with the full lineup revealed at a press conference on Sept. 12, 2024.
